Stephanie Blankshein is a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Southampton, working on the AHRC-funded ‘Islands of Stone’ project, investigating Neolithic crannogs in Scotland. A prehistoric maritime/landscape archaeologist, she also specialises in the application of digital approaches to archaeological and environmental questions. She has taught on a range of undergraduate and post-graduate modules focused on scientific diving and other archaeological field methods. Duncan Garrow is Professor of Later European Prehistory at the University of Reading. His research interests include long-term histories of deposition, burial practice and material culture, island archaeologies and archaeological theory. Duncan teaches later European prehistory (with a particular focus on Neolithic and Bronze Age Britain) and archaeological theory. Fraser Sturt is Professor of Maritime Archaeology at the University of Southampton. His research focuses on addressing complex social questions through generation, integration and analysis of data from multiple sources, often within a geospatial framework. While his focus is on maritime prehistory, the interdisciplinary nature of his work and the utility of methods employed have seen him carry out research on a wide range of projects across the world (on land and underwater). In recent years this has seen an increase in interdisciplinary research on contemporary topics, from environmental impact assessment and evaluation, to civic and community focused initiatives.
