Lisa Yeomans, PhD
After completing an MSc in Archaeology, specialising in zooarchaeology, at UCL Institute of Archaeology in 1999, I worked as field archaeologist and zooarchaeologist for commercial units and research projects. In 2002, I returned to UCL to undertake my PhD research funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council on zooarchaeological and historical evidence of the tanning, leatherdressing and horn-working industries in post medieval London. Since competition of my PhD in 2006 I have worked as an excavator and zooarchaeologist for commercial units in the UK and Iceland and am currently involved with research projects in Turkey, Jordan and Egypt. During the course of my work I have produced animal bone assessments and publications from a range of sites from Prehistoric to post-medieval from both rural and urban excavations. These have comprised of a wide range of assemblage types including industrial, settlement and funerary faunal remains whilst addressing a number of research questions such as the domestication of animals, secondary products utilisation, carcass processing and taphonomy of assemblage formation. I have experience of all elements of the archaeological, and specifically the zooarchaeological, process from excavation through to material collection and sampling, faunal identification, creation of databases, analysis, interpretation and integration, illustration and publication. I am also a member of the Professional Zooarchaeology Group (English Heritage).
I
am an experienced archaeologist used to dealing with animal remains from multi-period
sites in both urban and rural environments. After attending the MSc Zooarchaeology
course at UCL, I carried out analysis of fish, bird and mammal remains from
various medieval sites around Zealand and the islands of Denmark for the National
Museum of Copenhagen. Subsequently, I have been working on the animal assemblage
from Craven Street, London. I was also employed as an osteoarchaeologist for
On-Site Archaeology in York and am responsible for the analysis and report
writing for all the animal remains that are excavated by our unit. More recently,
I have carried out several animal bone assessments and analyses for Ossafreelance
from a variety of sites, including BABAO funded research reassessing the faunal
assemblage from Kemerton Camp Hillfort, Bredon Hill.
