It gives me the very greatest pleasure to announce that Spencer Carter, or Spence, has joined the TAG team as an Advisor. Spence is a hugely experienced archaeologist, who prior to joining has helped us greatly by offering free-of-charge and incredibly helpful feedback on the lithics we have been finding. We are all delighted to welcome Spence aboard. Here’s a little more about his background and experience.
Spence is a freelance commercial field archaeologist, prehistoric stone tool specialist, Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Archaeology at Durham University, and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland (FSA Scot). He was recently Archaeological Project Officer for Breedon Group’s Black Cat North aggregates quarry (with Archaeological Research Services Ltd.), Bedfordshire, as well as being involved in other community and commercial projects, and archaeological training.
He studied archaeology at Durham in the 1980s and, after an extensive business career, currently researches the early prehistory of north-east Yorkshire and Teesside, with a particular focus on the Mesolithic and transition to early Neolithic. Spence has been chair of the Teesside Archaeological Society, sat on the committee of Council for British Archaeology Yorkshire as journal editor, and the council of RESCUE: The British Archaeological Trust, as an advocate for our archaeology, heritage-at-risk and the profession.
