Duncan Garrow teaches later European prehistory (with a particular focus on Britain) and archaeological theory at the University of Reading, UK. His research interests include the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition; long-term histories of deposition; burial practices; the interpretive potential of radiocarbon dating; the integration of developer-funded and university-based archaeology; archaeological theory; and interdisciplinary approaches to material culture. Duncan worked in the commercial archaeology sector (at the Cambridge Archaeological Unit) from 1996-2002, when he left to undertake his PhD on Neolithic and Early Bronze Age pits in East Anglia. He went on to work as a post-doctoral researcher with Chris Gosden on the 'Technologies of Enchantment' Celtic Art project, before taking up a lectureship at the University of Liverpool. He left Liverpool in 2013 to move to his current post at Reading.
