Matt has been involved with archaeology for over thirty years. He has a BA in Archaeology from UCL Institute of Archaeology (1992) and an MSc in GIS from UCL’s Department of Geomatic Engineering (1998). He has worked on a wide variety of sites in the UK, Europe and in the Middle East. He has been Head of Geomatics since 2006 and has worked in the Geomatics Department at Oxford Archaeology since its inception in 2001. 

He contributes to projects which involve historic landscape survey and metric survey of earthworks and buildings, as well as many that concern heritage management and environmental assessment. Among other innovations, he has been involved with developing the application of spatial techniques for archaeological use. This has given him comprehensive experience of applying geomatics to heritage and archaeology.

Anne has over 25 years experience in both academic and commercial archaeology. Starting her archaeological life 1987 (until 1991) at Sutton Hoo, during vacation time, she graduated from Leicester University in 1992 wit BA(Hons) Archaeology, and subsequently worked for Leicestershire County Council Archeological Services, training as a Roman ceramic specialist, until returning to Leicester University to gain her MA Post-Excavation Skills in 1996. It was then that Anne chose to direct her career towards archaeological illustration and graphic design.

Anne now specialises in digital illustration techiniques, having obtained her Btech in Computer Aided Design in 1999, when AutoCad was just being introduced to the archaeological sector. To this end she was an external assessor in AutoCAD for the former Association of Archaeological Illustrators and Surveyors (now the Graphic Archaeological Group for the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists), and has been an Associate member (ACIFA) since 2000.

Prior to joining Oxford Archaeology in 2001, Anne was the Lead Archaeologist and Surveyor for a geotechnical engineering company in East Anglia, providing Heritage Management advice/reports, and ground settlelment monitoring throughout the region.

Gillian joined Oxford Archaeology in 2007, has almost 20 years experience in archaeological illustration, and pioneered her own style of digital finds illustration.

Having graduated in 1995 from Queen's University Belfast with a BSc (Hons) in Archaeology with Palaeoecology, she worked for the Environment and Heritage Service of Northern Ireland (EHSNI) as an archaeological illustrator and finds conservator. Gillian studied graphic design at the London College of Printing in 1999 and began transitioning traditional pen and ink artwork to digital format via Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.

Alongside her artistic skills Gillian has a solid base of technical mapping software such as AutoCad and QGIS. She has created an in-house GIS map of Roman Britain, tailor making Roman landscape maps for each monograph she works on. In 2000 Gillian was awarded full membership of the former Association of Archaeological Illustrators and Surveyors, and is now a member of the CifA at MCifA level.

Lucy has 20 years of experience in professional archaeology. After graduating from the University of Reading in 2002 with a BA (Hons) in Archaeology she started work as field staff. Whilst working in the field Lucy was trained to be a site surveyor, using GPS to map sites and then convert them into drawings with the aid of CAD and GIS. She then took advantage of a secondment in Graphics to develop her illustration skills, which resulted in a permanent move to that department.

As an illustrator Lucy regularly works on creating maps, finds drawings and other illustrations for monographs and journals. She has also produced large format permanent display panels for schools, as well as illustrating and typesetting smaller popular publications. More recently Lucy has received training in videography and has used that to produce and edit in house media.
