I studied history and archaeology at Exeter and worked as an archaeologist and heritage manager for commercial and research institutions across Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia before completing an MSc in digital heritage at York and a DPhil in archaeology at Oxford. My research has focussed on the archaeology and heritage of complex urban sites, with my doctoral thesis examining evidence for the Mongol Conquest of the 13th century and subsequent urban change at cities in Central Asia and the Caucasus. I am now a research fellow at King's College investigating broader changes in these urban sites from the 11th to 15th centuries, a period when Turco-Mongol groups moved into the area. I have worked extensively in Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkmenistan and lead a field project with colleagues from the Otrar State Archaeological Museum and Archeoservice at the urban site of Otrar in southern Kazakhstan.?
Currently, I am working with the , based at the University of Lincoln, which is investigating how water shaped societies and empires in Central Asia over the past two millennia. This involves conducting fieldwork on palaeochannels, canals and other infrastructure for water management along the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, and integrating this with legacy data on settlement patterns, flooding and irrigation from the region.
