History
Master of Jesus College from 1986 to 1997 and the first Director of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, championing some of the earliest applications of archaeogenetics, as well as a critical and investigative approach to the illicit antiquities market. His fieldwork expanded to Orkney, and latterly returned to the more southerly isles of the Cyclades, subject of his doctoral research, and to remarkable discoveries on the island of Keros.
