Welcome to the Research Website of James Morris
I currently work as a zooarchaeologist within the osteology department of Museum of London Archaeology, you can read the blog entries of osteology staff here.
In 2008 I completed my PhD at Bournemouth University, where I was also taught part-time on the MSc Osteoarchaelogy course. I specialise in social zooarchaeology, in particular the interpretation of Associated Bone Groups (ABGs). My research on this subject had a broad chronological range, from the Neolithic (c.4000BC) to late Medieval (c.AD1550), and is and is now expanding to investigate mainland European sites.
My current research based within zooarchaeology, while integrating with other sub-disciplines, is made up of a number of related themes:
I am also interested in the history, development and demographic profile of zooarchaeology. I have recently finished a project investigating commercial zooarchaeology in the United Kingdom.
