Doctoral research
My research project will map memories of Roman-period archaeological sites in Cornwall. Through a combination of survey, interview, and archival research, it will collect individual memories, collate them to form a living dataset of memory and experience specifically connected to Cornish archaeological sites, and contextualise them within a mixed-methodological framework. From an archaeological anchor, it will explore the ways in which these sites and their associated memories interact with and affect contemporary narratives of heritage and the questions of identity, belonging, and ownership that accompany them; as well as providing key evidence to inform and shape strategies of site management and heritage protection in the region.
