CERAMIC BUILDING MATERIALS
Sandra is a York based
archaeologist with over 25 years of experience, concentrating on the curation and
study of artefacts. Ceramic building materials (aka brick and tile) are her
particular specialisation and she is the author of many reports concerning this
important, but unglamorous, class of find.
She welcomes
consultation by non-commercial organisations such as local
archaeological societies, museums, etc. on the subject of ceramic building
materials of all periods, and is available for research projects, lecturing or
teaching.
Individuals
researching their own house as a hobby are advised to consult their local
experts before sending an email to me. Very knowledgeable local researchers can
often be found by contacting your local archaeology society (your local library
will have details). Brick is very regional in nature, and it’s often best to start
by asking those researching in that specific area. If you get no joy following
that avenue, by all means contact me, but please remember to acknowledge my
reply – it takes thought and time to answer your queries.
