Ymchwil
Projectau
Bryngaerau
2007 yn parhau. Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n ymwneud â nifer o brosiectau sy'n ceisio deall rôl bryngaerau ym Mhrydain Gynhanesyddol Ddiweddarach.
- Rwy'n gyd-reolwr y gwaith cloddio yn Ham Hill, prosiect Uned Archeolegol ar y cyd rhwng Prifysgol Caerdydd a Chaergrawnt sy'n cloddio ardal fawr y tu mewn i fryngaer fwyaf Prydain.
- Rwy'n ymgynghorydd i Gyngor Sir Swydd Henffordd, gan weithio'n arbennig ar y gwaith cloddio yng Ngwersyll Credenhill yn 2007 a 2008 ac yn eu prosiect presennol "Asesiad o Statws Archaeolegol a Chadwraeth Caeau Cynhanesyddol Mawr yn Swydd Henffordd a Swydd Amwythig".
- Rwy'n arweinydd academaidd i Brifysgol Caerdydd sy'n ymwneud â Phrosiect Treftadaeth CAER, sydd wedi'i gynllunio i ddeall bryngaer Caerau, Trelái, Caerdydd.
Bydd y prosiectau hyn yn darparu ychwanegiad amhrisiadwy i'n gwybodaeth am fryngaerau mawr gorllewin Prydain ac mae ganddynt y potensial i drawsnewid ein dealltwriaeth gan mai ychydig iawn fu'r archwiliadau blaenorol yn yr ardaloedd hyn. Maen nhw'n adeiladu ar fy ngwaith yng Nghastell Maiden yn yr 1980au ac ailystyried bryngaerau Wessex yn fy llyfr Social Relations in Later Prehistory.
De Uist
1995 yn parhau. Yn y 1990au, cyd-gyfarwyddais brosiect gwaith maes mawr ar ynys De Uist yn Ynysoedd Heledd Allanol mewn cydweithrediad â Phrifysgol Sheffield ac eraill. Dyluniwyd hyn i archwilio hanes anheddiad ar yr ynys o'i meddiannu cychwynnol hyd at y cliriadau. Mae cofnod manwl o'r prosiect ar gael ar wefan y prosiect.
Roedd fy mhrif gloddiadau ar safle Bornais ac fe'u gwnaed rhwng 1994 a 2004. Datgelodd y rhain un o'r aneddiadau Norseg mwyaf hysbys yn yr Alban a dilyniant o feddiannaeth yn dyddio o'r3edd ganrif OC i'r14eg ganrif OC yn Bornais, De Uist. Mae dwy gyfrol bellach wedi'u cyhoeddi ar y cloddiadau hyn ac mae gwaith yn mynd rhagddo i gwblhau'r cyfrolau terfynol.
Mae'r safle'n darparu tystiolaeth hanfodol ar gyfer datblygu pysgota masnachol, trefnu gweithgareddau crefft a'r defnydd o ofod domestig yng nghyfnod y Llychlynwyr. Mae maint yr arteffactau ac ansawdd y stratigraffeg yn rhoi cyfle heb ei ail i ddeall newidiadau cronolegol yn ystod y cyfnod hwn.
Mae'r prosiect yn bwriadu:
- Deall natur anheddiad Llychlynnaidd Gogledd yr Iwerydd.
- Deall datblygiad pensaernïaeth ddomestig yn ymyl yr Iwerydd yn yr Alban.
- Deall natur newidiol arferion amaethyddol mewn ecosystem ymylol a bregus.
Ariannwyd y prosiect hwn gan Historic Scotland a Phrifysgol Caerdydd.
Middens a'r Eglwys Newydd
2006 yn parhau. Rwy'n gweithio gyda Kate Waddington (Prifysgol Bangor) a Richard Madgwick ar broblem y gwythiennau mawr sy'n ymddangos yn ne Lloegr yn hanner cyntaf y mileniwm cyntaf CC. Mae amcanion y prosiect yn cynnwys:
- Deall y defnydd amlwg sydd ei angen i greu'r middenau mawr sydd i'w cael ar ddechrau'r mileniwm cyntaf CC.
- Ailystyried rôl gymdeithasol cynhyrchu metel, ni a dyddodiad ar ddechrau'r mileniwm cyntaf CC.
- Archwilio'r prosesau taphonomig sy'n llywio cronni deunydd yn y safleoedd rhyfeddol hyn.
Prif elfen maes y prosiect oedd cloddio'r midden yn yr Eglwys Newydd yn Swydd Warwick, safle anarferol sy'n gorwedd ar gyrion y dosbarthiad. Dylai'r cloddiadau ddarparu fframwaith pwysig ar gyfer pontio cynnar yr Oes Efydd Ddiweddar yn yr Oes Haearn yng Ngorllewin Canolbarth Lloegr. Mae'r prosiect hefyd wedi cael nifer fawr o ddyddiadau radiocarbon o ganol y cyfnod yn East Chisenbury a ddylai ddarparu cyfle heb ei ail i ddyddio'r safleoedd hyn yn union.
Ariennir y prosiect hwn gan y Gymdeithas Archaeolegol, y Gymdeithas Cynhanesyddol, NERC a Phrifysgol Caerdydd.

Bywgraffiad
Rwyf wedi graddio o Brifysgol Glasgow lle gwnes i radd archeoleg gyda thraethawd hir ar y cloddiadau ym meddrod siambr Ord North yn Sutherland. Ar ôl graddio, treuliais bum mlynedd yn gweithio yn Uned Ymchwil Arteffact o'r hyn a elwid bryd hynny yn Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Hynafiaethau'r Alban. Gwariwyd y rhan fwyaf o fy egni ar gyfarwyddo a goruchwylio gwaith maes yn Orkney ac Ynysoedd y Gorllewin ar safleoedd gan gynnwys Chwarel Pierowall a Chysylltiadau Noltland ar ynys Westray a Dalmore, ar Ynys Lewis.
Yn 1985 cefais fy nghyflogi i gyfarwyddo'r cloddiadau yng Nghastell Maiden yn Dorset. Cwblhawyd y prosiect hwn gyda chyhoeddi'r adroddiad cloddio a'r llyfr poblogaidd ym 1991. Yna dychwelais i'r Alban a chefais fy nghyflogi gan Historic Environment Scotland (Historic Environment Scotland erbyn hyn) i oruchwylio eu Cynllun Wardeiniaid Henebion, a oedd yn caniatáu imi ymweld â llawer o henebion aneglur a diddorol ledled y wlad. Yn 1995 cefais fy nghyflogi gan Brifysgol Caerdydd a phob un ers hynny rwyf wedi bod yn gweithio yn yr Adran Archaeoleg yn yr Ysgol Hanes, Archaeoleg a Chrefydd. Yn 2012 fe ddes i'n Athro ac yn 2013 roeddwn i'n Bennaeth yr Ysgol am gyfnod byr.
Yn ystod fy nghyfnod ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd, rwyf wedi parhau i ymchwilio'n weithredol i gynhanes Prydain drwy ymgymryd â gwaith maes ar amrywiaeth o henebion archeolegol cyffrous; gan gynnwys y fryngaer ysblennydd yn Ham Hill, Gwlad yr Haf; y gaer a'r fryngaer sarnog yng Nghaerau, Caerdydd; yr Oes Efydd Diweddar/Oes Haearn Gynnar Midden yn yr Eglwys Newydd, Swydd Warwick; a'r anheddiad Oes Haearn ar Orosay, De Uist. Fodd bynnag, y prif ffocws ar gyfer fy ngweithgareddau gwaith maes fu'r anheddiad hanesyddol a Llychlynnaidd cynnar pwysig yn Bornais yn Ne Uist. Gwnaed gwaith cloddio ar y safle hwn rhwng 1995 a 2004 a daeth y gyfrol derfynol sy'n cwblhau cyhoeddi'r cloddiadau allan yn 2020.
