Consultant Archaeozoologist

With over ten years experience in the field of archaeozoology I provide a prompt, professional service identifying, recording and analysing animal bones. Catalogues and reports are produced to a high publication standard, to the client’s specification and deadlines. I understand the importance of working to schedule in the current archaeological climate.

I have worked on material from Britain, Ireland, Asia, Africa, Western and Eastern Europe. I generally work from my own premises as this is more convenient for access to comparative material, but I have also worked in house at museums, units and institutions and on location when required.

I have been employed as a unit’s sole animal bone specialist, or to provide cover when in house specialist’s are on leave, or need help to clear a backlog. Alternatively, I have been used by institutions for one off projects over one or several seasons.

Services Offered:

Assessment and evaluation reports

Site reports

Research and higher specification reports

Reports and catalogues tailored to meet specific requirements

Advice given on sampling and recovery of bones in the field

Presentations of findings in person if required

Training and teaching

Compilation of comparative collections
