The main focus of my research is on macroscopic (techno-typological) and microscopic (use-wear) analyses of stone tools. I use these approaches to investigate the role that technology played within prehistoric societies, and more specifically, to investigate the manner in which craft and subsistence activities bound societies together. Within the context of Neolithic Britain these interests have led to an interest in the broader setting in which gatherings at prehistoric monuments occurred. Were monument complexes used by local populations, or widespread communities? What things did people do when they were gathered at monuments? I have addressed these questions through the analysis of the ploughsoil assemblages of the Stonehenge landscape. The necessarily coarse narrative that this analysis produced was refined significantly through my subsequent work on the assemblages of the Stonehenge Riverside Project, particularly the analysis of material from the Neolithic village at Durrington Walls. The latter involved the detailed analysis of the choreography of material practices within a Neolithic settlement. I explored this theme in greater depth during my Marie Curie Fellowship through the use-wear analysis of stone tools from the Neolithic settlements of the Braes of Ha’Breck and Barnhouse in Orkney. My work for the Living with Monuments Project will allow my research to once again address the full range of varied and often ephemeral traces that typify the settlement record of Southern Britain. It is my continued belief that if we attend to these understudied sources of evidence we can repopulate the land between the monuments. The Living with Monuments Project will provide long-needed research into the settlement history of the Avebury landscape, and provide insightful comparisons with the contemporary inhabitation of the Stonehenge environs.
