Tony Brown is a geoarchaeologist with interests in palaeoecology, human impact, subsistence and environmental change. He has worked in a wide variety of environments, periods and geographical areas from East Africa to Svalbard. Although his work was originally focused on floodplains and alluvial sites he has more recently worked on wetland and lake sites including projects on crannogs (artificial islands) and Medieval flooding. He has currently two major interests, sedaDNA and multi-proxies from lakes in Scotland and Ireland (waves of Colonisation in the Sea of Moyle) and Jomon nutritional archaeology and environmental change in Japan. TerrACE is a return to an interest in slopes, colluviation and human impact.
