Neil Faulkner (archaeologist)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dr Neil Faulkner is a professional archaeologist and is the editor of the magazine Current Archaeology.

Faulkner read political economy at King's College, Cambridge and later became a teacher before turning to archaeology; he took his doctorate at the Institute of Archaeology, London, with a study of late Roman towns.

Faulkner was brought up in the Weald and was educated at The Skinners' School, Tunbridge Wells.

Faulkner is well-known as both a tour guide and lecturer, and has directed excavations for the television programme, Time Team. He is probably best known for his long-running excavations at Sedgeford, in Norfolk as part of a project to establish and reconstruct the story of human settlement in the parish.
