After finishing my PhD on the Irish Bronze Age in 2000, I moved my focus forward in time and began studying zoos as ritual landscapes. Working for English Heritage for ten years gave me a solid, if critical, understanding of heritage management. My first foray into the future was for a project collaborating with artists in Broadmead, Bristol. I am particularly interested in the way children are used in future discourse. I live in Portsmouth and am based in the Institute of Archaeology at UCL.
