Until 1997 he was a Research Assistant in the School working on Roman post-excavation projects including Catterick, Leicester, Cirencester and Rutland Water, before joining ULAS as Finds Officer. In 2006, he became the Post-excavation Project Manager at ULAS, and with Richard Buckley is currently co-ordinating the programme of analysis and publication of the Highcross Leicester excavations.

Nick’s specialisms are in Roman pottery and small finds and his research interests include the ‘Romanisation’ of material culture, the Romano-British economy and the Roman to Anglo-Saxon transition. He published the Archaeology of Rutland Water in 2000 and, as co-ordinator of the East Midlands Archaeological Research Framework project, developed a web resource for the results and edited The Archaeology of the East Midlands in 2006.
