Neil Christie

Neil Christie is Professor of Medieval Archaeology at the University of Leicester, UK, where he has been based since 1992. His specialisms relate chiefly to late Roman and early medieval archaeology, notably in Italy, but he has also worked on and led excavation and survey projects in Spain, Turkey and England, including a major project centred on the early to late medieval historic townscape of Wallingford in Oxfordshire. Key research themes cover urbanism, defence and transitions in the landscape. He has a long association (as Secretary and Reviews Editor) with the UK’s Medieval Settlement Research Group and the Society for Medieval Archaeology.
