Isobel Thompson - Honorary Lecturer

Having completed her PhD at the Institute years ago, Isobel now works on how local ceramics can shed light on the late Iron Age to Roman transition in parts of southern Britain. This is alongside work by others, including Kris Lockyear, on relevant sites especially the major central places of late Iron Age Hertfordshire. She is also assisting with Bill Sillar’s ARCL0100 Interpreting Pottery module.
