Research Interests

I am currently involved in chemical preparation for radiocarbon dating, including sub-fossil trees for calibration purposes.
 
In addition I have a broad interest in stable isotopes in bone for palaeodiet and palaeoenvironmental research. I have worked on developing the methods and applications of the new (to archaeology) isotope systems of H and Ca, in particular.
