My broader research interests focus on using ancient DNA analysis to learn more about British history. I have worked on a variety of different sites throughout my scientific career, including The Mary Rose wreckage and sites within the Stonehenge landscape. My MRes project focused on ancient DNA analysis of both sailors and cattle from the Mary Rose wreckage with the aim of determining the ancestry of the men on board, and the origins of their food sources. My PhD project focused on sedaDNA analysis of a series of pits surrounding the Neolithic monument of Durrington Walls with the aim of reconstructing the paleoenvironment.
