Alistair Galt

I investigate prehistoric landscapes, non-Anglo-American landscape theories, and I am currently working on digital heritage. I am a Durham University graduate, with an interest in geophysical and buildings surveying. My undergraduate dissertation employed geophysics at Stanwick Oppidum, and assessed it’s relation to it’s landscape, showing how the site (on current evidence) was actually not as significant as we percieve it to be.
I have excavated in England, the Channel Islands and Tuscany, Italy, in multiple cultures and chronological frameworks.
I have several weeks worth of geophysical experience using magnetometers and resistivity meters; I am looking to use these and other geophysical techniques for my master’s dissertation.
I have completed a number of survey reports, including the award-winning conservation management plan for Durham Cathedral ,concerning their South Street Mill on the river Wear, where I surveyed and interpreted the north-face exterior wall. I am also a Public Relations Coordinator for the Post Hole, a free student-run archaeology journal (www.theposthole.org).
