Mark Haughton

Mark Haughton is completing his PhD at the Department of Archaeology, University of Cambridge and is a member of Jesus College.  His current research, funded by the Arts & Humantiies Reserach Council, examines how Bronze Age burials from Ireland and Scotland reveal the gender and age structures of society,  Prior to this, Mark completed a BA (in Archaeology & Classics) and an MA (in Prehistoric Archaeology) at University Colelge Dublin in Ireland.  His MA reserach demonstrated the locally specifric way in which burial practice was ordered at several Early Bronze Age cemeteries in Ireland.
