Degrees
My experience over the past fifteen years spans archaeology, historic preservation, architectural history, information technology, art, design, business administration and other related fields. I am experienced in archaeology and historic preservation through fieldwork, lab work and research in America, the United Kingdom and Ireland.
My art and design skills include both print and web publication, incorporating a wide variety of computer applications. I am particularly interested in applying information technology to visual communication in archaeology, and in public interpretation. I have researched, evaluated and participated in public interpretation of archaeological sites in Ireland, Wales and America. In addition, I have many years of professional administrative and information technology experience in arts, culture, archaeology and education based organizations in America and England. I am currently a doctoral student in the Department of Archaeology at the University of York.
CHIRON Project
My primary area of interest in Archaeology is visual communication. My specific research centres on ways in which the discipline can best present visual information on the Web. The emergence of web-based technologies presents a significant opportunity for archaeologists attempting to collect, process, present and ultimately preserve graphical information. As part of the development of ‘Web Standards’ by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the emergence of the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) has brought new functionality to The Web, and this has created further opportunities for archaeologists in many areas, including those interested in visualisation.
The tools of XML visualisation are Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) for two-dimensional data and eXtensible 3D Graphics (X3D) will likely be the ecommendation for data expressed in three dimensions.
