I have been involved in archaeology, in some capacity or another,
since the age of 16 when I was a trainee on an excavation at Wroxeter
Roman city. Over the last 15 years I have seen field archaeology
through the eyes of a young amateur, an undergraduate student,
a postgraduate student and a full-time professional. As the Site
Director of the Anglo-Georgian Expedition I believe my priority
is to ensure that we have a well organised, professionally excavated
site, but I also hope that the volunteers we train each year experience
the same wonder, joy and passion for archaeology that I have experienced
over the years.
I have had the privilege to work on many stunning sites during
my career. These include Roman buildings excavated whilst I was
with the Museum of London Archaeology Service and described by
the "Evening Standard" as "London's Pompeii";
huge Iron Age farmsteads in the Cambridgeshire Fens; and impressive
Neolithic Cursus monuments in Dumfriesshire. However, I believe
that the site of Nokalakevi must rate as a world class archaeological
wonder, albeit little known at the moment, and represents an unmissable
experience for anyone with an interest in archaeology - regardless
of what stage of their career they may have reached.
Personally I remain excited by the opportunity to be involved
with this project and this site and, by expecting the highest
of standards from our volunteers, excited to think that the Anglo-Georgian
Expedition is adding its name to the prestigious history of Nokalakevi/
