Sean is one of two Postdoctoral Research fellows currently attached to the project (along with Edward Mills). Sean will join the team in May 2024, following the completion of his work on the Wellcome Trust-funded ‘Animal Feeding‘ project.
As an expert in biocodicology, Sean’s work on the project will centre around analysing the biological information that can be gleaned from the manuscripts identified by other project members. Sean’s findings will offer new insights that will in turn inform understandings of where these manuscripts were made, the uses to which they were put, and (potentially) the identities of their later users.
Since completing his doctorate in 2018, Sean has published widely across history, anthropology, and archaeology. For more information on his work, see his University profile.
