Christpher Evans
Christopher Evans is Emeritus Director of the Cambridge Archaeological Unit and a Senior Research Fellow of the McDonald Institute, University of Cambridge. Having worked in British Archaeology for over forty years, he co-founded the unit. He has directed a wide variety of major fieldwork projects, both abroad (Nepal, China & Cape Verde) and in the United Kingdom. A Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, in 2018 he was elected a Fellow of the British Academy. He has published widely, both on the history of archaeology and many monographs arising from his own landscape projects (e.g. Fengate Revisited, 2009; Twice-crossed River, 2016) and those of earlier-era practitioners in the Unit’s Historiography and Fieldwork series (e.g. Mucking, 2016). Together with Tim Murray, he edited Oxford University’s Histories of Archaeology: A Reader in the History of Archaeology (2008).
