Research Interests

Archaeology and heritage significance of places and objects associated with or resulting from our exploration of outer space, whether on Earth, on the Moon, in orbit or on other planets or moons
Techniques for developing exoarchaeology by remote sensing of exoplanets (planets in orbit round other stars) in our galactic neighbourhood of the Milky Way where life may also have evolved
Origins of language and intelligence in relation to the evolution of Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans
Palaeoecological conditions and requirements for successful adaptation to Last Glacial environments during colder and warmer times
Direct dating of rock surface accretions (gypsum oxalate crusts, silica skins etc) and computer-enhanced imaging of ancient rock art
