In these roles, I have worked on rural and urban sites from small evaluations to large-scale road projects and deeply stratified urban sites. My primary focus is waterlogged and mineralized macrobotanical\u00a0remains from the Roman to historical periods in the British Isles. I look forward to applying my skills to new projects in the New England region.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Awards &amp; Grants<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Henry S. Newman Fellowship.
