My research examines the archaeology of Roman imperialism, focusing on Wales within the wider Roman provinces. Using postcolonial and decolonising approaches, I reassess cultural change, identity, and power. I am especially interested in Roman material culture, provincial art, and community co-production in heritage, bridging scholarly interpretation with public engagement and inclusive narratives.
