Rich Phd student and Registered Finds Specialist
I first became interested in archaeology by chance when I started a joint honours history and archaeology degree at Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU). Going out on excavation at the CCCU field school led me to dropping history entirely and I haven’t looked back. After doing an MA at Cardiff, I rejoined CCCU to undertake a PhD on the reuse of Roman material culture in Early Anglo-Saxon settlements in Kent. A key part of this is looking at objects and how these might have been adapted for reuse centuries after their initial use and deposition. This led to an interest in small finds which I was able to further by looking at the CAT archives in Wincheap, and doing a couple of short reports. I’m thrilled this has evolved into a role at CAT and I’m looking forward to working alongside this great team.
