The Special Place of the Butley and Ore Rivers in the History of Oyster Cultivation
Suffolk Review.
“A lifetime spent in archaeology has led to a wide range of interests and experience. Intensive post-ex recording of the sewn Bronze Age boat found in Dover prompted five seasons of fieldwork in Goa to record the end of its sewn boat tradition. A large archive was created and a series of articles published. Retirement is providing time to write up research on other topics. A co-authored themed history of East Suffolk published in hardback in 2009 is now available on-line together with numerous articles on local history. During lockdown unpublished Sutton Hoo research dating back to the 1980s was revisited and prepared for publication. A monograph on the nearby Anglo-Saxon site of Burrow Hill is in preparation.”
