Excavation, Survey & Digital Heritage.
Based in Glasgow
About Me:
Field archaeologist and survey specialist providing archaeological recording and survey services from fieldwork through to finished outputs.
I work across excavation, archaeological survey and digital heritage, combining practical field experience with the technical skills and equipment needed to collect, process and present archaeological data.
I enjoy working within archaeological teams of all sizes, both as an excavator and in a dedicated survey role. My background in field archaeology informs how I approach survey, helping me understand what is being excavated, what needs to be recorded and how that information can be useful beyond its original purpose.
Building on my studies at the University of Glasgow, I have provided excavation and specialist survey support on archaeological projects across Scotland. This includes university research projects with the National Trust for Scotland, work with commercial archaeological companies and commissions for the University of Glasgow, where I am also an approved supplier.

I am particularly interested in finding ways to reuse and build upon data collected during fieldwork. A drone survey might initially be undertaken to record an excavation and produce an archaeological plan, but the same data can later be used to create 3D models, animations, physical replicas or interactive digital experiences. I aim to make the most of the information collected rather than treating each output as a separate process.
My experience includes excavation and field recording, landscape and topographic survey, RTK GNSS, drone photogrammetry and GIS, alongside the production of archaeological plans, orthomosaics, 3D models and interpretive material.
I own my survey, drone and photogrammetric equipment and undertake the processing and production work myself. This allows me to manage projects from planning and fieldwork through to finished outputs, whether working independently or alongside wider archaeological teams.
