He has directed a wide variety of major fieldwork projects, both abroad (Nepal, China & Cape Verde) and in UK, most recently publishing the results of the Haddenham Project in 2006, the South Cambridge/Addenbrooke's Environs (2008), Fengate Revisited (2010) and the Colne Fen Project's Process and History volumes (2013).
