Current research
My research employs a high-resolution, multi-proxy palaeoecological approach to reconstructing the intensity and scale of environmental impact from specific Roman industries in Britain.
Proxies include pollen and non-pollen palynomorphs, macrofossils and Sedimentary Ancient DNA (sedaDNA) to track ecological responses and biodiversity change due to anthropogenic disturbance across the Roman period and into late antiquity.
