[Speaker Intro]

Carl joined the British Museum in 2016 after more than 25 years at the University of Bradford.  He is also Honorary Visiting Professor at the University of York, University of Bradford, and University College London. Carl’s research interests focus on the identification of organic matter preserved in association with archaeological materials. He applies analytical organic chemistry to archaeological questions such as artefact function, trade and exchange and the study of technological processes. He has a particular interest in molecular and isotopic characterization of organic residues associated with ceramic containers and in the identification of organic substances used in mortuary processes.
