About
I'm currently a final year Ad Astra Doctoral Scholar in the UCD School of Archaeology.
My PhD examines the specific landscape contexts of flaked and ground stone technologies during the Mesolithic of the Irish Sea region. My research aims to topographically contextualise dynamic stone technologies at a series of analytical scales in order to construct multi-stranded socialised archaeologies of our hunter-gatherer past.
Current work is focused on the analysis of an assemblage of over 5,000 lithic artefacts from Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island), NW Wales and analysis of stone axes recovered from excavations of Mesolithic sites in Ireland.
Recently completed work includes: analysis of a fieldwalked lithic assemblage with late Mesolithic elements from Rathlin Island, County Antrim and a large body of lithic material from Rathlin Island held in the National Museum of Ireland and re-assessment of a major fieldwalked lithic assemblage from Trevose Head, Cornwall with both early and Late Mesolithic elements.
I am also a researcher with the Irish Stone Axe Project (ISAP) with responsiblities for recording and writing analytical reports on prehistoric stone axes with an Irish provenance and developing and maintaining the ISAP database and the GIS specialist for the Neolithic and Bronze Age Landscapes of North Mayo project producing and collating spatial data from forty years of archaeological research on the Ceide Fields landscape. I am also the Teaching Assistant for Level 1 students in the UCD School of Archaeology.
Away from these more formal research projects I also co-ordinate the Prehistoric Discussion Group (a group of archaeologists who informally communicate on matters of prehistoric archaeology), I co-ordinate a flint knapping and stone technology group in UCD introducing students (and lecturers!) to prehistoric stoneworking techniques.
