A fellow colleague once told me that if my digging style was an animal, it would be a ‘Chattering Brummy Peacock’
How long have you been working in archaeology?
My first commercial job was with Wessex Archaeology in Salisbury in July 2013
How did you get into archaeology?
I took a break from education after finishing my A-levels because I had no clue what I wanted to do. During the first few months of part-time supermarket checkout worker boredom I watched A LOT of Time Team episodes and decided to give it a go.
What is the best thing about your job?
Working out the story of a site. Finding Quernstones (Oh, and sitting opposite the handsome specimen that is Roger Evershed in the office)
Specialist skills?
Inventor of the infamous ‘Mud or Poo’ game, which I now hear is sweeping the nation. Founder and CEO of ‘Gin Wednesdays’…and I quite like Earthwork Surveying
