Dr. Hafed Walda ( hafed.walda@kcl.ac.uk ) Classics Department, Kings College London After gaining his batchelor's degree in his native Libya, Hafed came to the Institute of Archaeology in London where he obtained his doctorate in Roman Art and Archaeology. He has gained teaching and museum experience, and practical experience of excavations, using the latest methods, in rescue archaeology in London, and academically orientated excavations in classical Mediterranean sites, including Sparta, where he acted as Archaeology Co-ordinator. At the British Museum, on a two year appointment as Curator he co-ordinated the setting up of the new Roman Gallery (Room 70) which has become a focal point for many visitors to the Museum. During this period he used his experience to advise the Libyan Department of Antiquities in the creation of the new museum at Lepcis Magna. At King's College London as well as teaching courses in Roman Art, Roman Architecture and Introduction to Archaeology, he has played a key role in the development of the Daidalos database of the works of ancient Greek sculptors, a project that has attracted international interest. For the last four years he has directed the excavation at Lepcis Magna. His primary research objective is to find out the reasons for the decline of the city in the Late Roman period. In connection with the excavation at Lepcis Magna, he has developed a software package for archaeological site recording. At present Hafed is developing methods to prepare 3-D models for archaeological finds, especially pottery, and exploring the use of Quick Time VR for virtual reality walkthroughs in the museum context.

Dr. Keith Wilkinson ( Kwilkinson@wkac.ac.uk ) Archaeology Department, King Alfred's College, Winchester Keith studied at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London. He completed a BSc programme in 1989, specialising in environmental archaeology, followed by Ph.D study between 1989-1992. His thesis was concerned with modelling and interpreting erosive sediment sequences of the South Downs in Sussex, England to see what effect past agricultural activity had on the environment. Keith's Ph.D was awarded in 1993 and is due to be published in 1997. On completion of his doctoral research Keith worked as a freelance environmental archaeologist, working particularly in the fields of geoarchaeology and molluscan analysis. In 1994 he joined Cotswold Archaeological Trust as Senior Environmental Officer, carrying out environmental archaeological work on their projects, and also running a geoarchaeological consultancy. As well as working on these "rescue" projects Keith has also played an active role in several university excavations, and is carrying out geoarchaeological research on sites in Spain, Greece and Turkmenistan as well as the United Kingdom. In 1997 he moved to King Alfred's College, Winchester, where he is Lecturer in Environmental Archaeology. Keith's research interests mainly lie in geoarchaeology and the use of GIS / CAD as a 3D site and deposit recording tool.

Jane Sidell ( jane@molas.demon.co.uk ) Environmental Section, Museum of London Archaeology Service Jane Sidell trained at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London, completing her BA in 1990 and MSc in 1991. As an undergraduate she specialised in Roman archaeology developing interests in Roman settlement of all parts of the Roman empire. Her masters study was in zooarchaeology where she developed expertise in vertebrate bone identification and interpretation. However, her dissertation was a pioneering study developing criteria for identifying eggshell recovered from archaeological sites using both optical and scanning electron microscopy. This study has now been published by the University of Pennsylvania. On leaving the Institute of Archaeology Jane pursued a career as a freelance zooarchaeologist, working on material from Britain, mainland Europe and the Middle East and contributing to a number of research papers. In 1992 she joined the Environmental Section, Museum of London Archaeology Service as a zooarchaeologist and has continued there ever since. She is now manager of the Environmental Section, and has broadened her interests from zooarchaeology and is currently examining alluvial stratigraphy associated with Holocene sea-level change in the Thames to determine what effect this had on past habitation. As well as working in Lepcis Magna Jane has recently been involved with projects in Greece, Poland, and Turkmenistan, as well as the United Kingdom.

Dr. Paul Reynolds Specialist and consultant in Mediterranean ceramics (Classical and Post-Classical). Having studied for a B.A. in Archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology, University of London, Paul completed a Ph.D thesis there on the pottery and settlement of the Vinalopo Valley (Alicante, Spain), which covered the period AD 400-900 (i.e. late Roman, Visigothic and early Islamic).
