I am a writer and researcher. My current research concerns the nineteenth-century excavators of the “bone caves” of Britain. These investigators include William Buckland, John McEnery and William Pengelly, but also lesser-known cave explorers.
My PhD and MPhil from the University of Birmingham were concerned with the interpretation of archaeological evidence from the caves and settlements of Crete in the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. I have written and delivered many adult education courses on Archaeology, Ancient History, and Classics. I have also written biographical studies of Greek Philosophers.
I live in Stourbridge in the Midlands, UK. As you might expect, I love museums and archives. I also draw natural history subjects, using various monochrome techniques. You can see some of my drawings here. I have recently begun learning to play the lyre.
