The introduction of techniques such as LIDAR and the results of excavations along major infrastructure developments has led to a revolution about our knowledge of the Romans within Cornwall with the discovery of forts, marching camps, fortlets, signal stations, roads and more.. Carl is a field archaeologist and finds specialist who has taken part in numerous excavations and watching briefs. For a few years he worked compiling a finds catalogue for all artefacts from Tintagel and for some 30 years has worked with the Cornwall Archaeological Unit concentrating on pottery. He has also appeared as a finds specialist on several ‘Time Team’ programmes.
