Darllenydd mewn Archaeoleg Ganoloesol Gynnar
Trosolwyg
Mae Andy yn arbenigwr mewn archaeoleg Prydain yr Henfyd Hwyr a'r Canoloesoedd Cynnar gyda diddordebau penodol yng ngorllewin a gogledd yr Ynysoedd. Yn archeolegydd maes gweithgar, mae wedi cyfarwyddo cloddiadau ar 'lannau deheuol' Dinas Powys ac ym Mynydd St Albans ger Caerllion. Yn 2021 dechreuodd Brosiect Archaeoleg Tirwedd Castell Fonmon, ac ar hyn o bryd mae'n arwain cloddiadau (gyda Dr Tudur Davies) ar fynwent ganoloesol cynnar De Llancadle a safleoedd eraill o fewn ystâd y castell. Mae wedi cyhoeddi'n eang ar ystod o bynciau ac ar hyn o bryd mae'n gweithio ar fonograff ar fryngaerau yng ngorllewin Prydain canoloesol cynnar.

Ymchwil
Mae diddordebau ymchwil Andy yn cynnwys:
• Gorllewin Prydain yr Henfyd Hwyr a'r Canoloesoedd Cynnar;
• Bryngaerau ac aneddiadau amddiffynedig;
• Pŵer a brenhiniaeth;
• Cristnogaeth a'r eglwys gynnar;
• Amaethyddiaeth, tirwedd a'r economi;
• Ffurfio'r ffin ganoloesol gynnar yn y Gororau Cymreig.
Mae gan Andy ddiddordeb arbennig mewn archaeoleg tirwedd ac ymchwil amlddisgyblaethol. Mae wedi arwain nifer o brosiectau ymchwil, gan gynnwys Manifestations of the Empire a ariennir gan yr AHRC, sy'n defnyddio dadansoddiad paill cydraniad uchel i archwilio parhad a newidiadau yn yr amgylchedd a'r defnydd tir rhwng y cyfnod Rhufeinig a'r cyfnod canoloesol cynnar. Ar hyn o bryd mae'n Brif Swyddog Gweithredol Making the March: Contesting Lands in the Early Medieval Frontier (gyda Dr Charles Inslay, Prifysgol Manceinion), a chydnabod ar Hidden Kingdoms: The Southwest of Britain in Late Antiquity (gyda'r Athro Stephen Rippon, Prifysgol Caerwysg) a ariennir hefyd gan Ymddiriedolaeth Leverhulme.
Mae hefyd yn Aelod Gweithredol ar ddau brosiect mawr a ariennir gan yr AHRC: Pushing the boundaries of early medieval Wales: An edition of the earliest Welsh charters (gyda Dr Ben Guy, Prifysgol Caergrawnt), ac Ecologies of Governance in the First Millennium OC: Environment, Inequality and Rulership (gyda Dr Patrick Gleeson, Queens Belfast a Dr Duncan Wright, Prifysgol Newcastle). Yn ddiweddar, cyd-awdur y fframwaith ymchwil archeolegol diweddaraf ar gyfer Cymru ganoloesol cynnar ac mae'n ymwneud â nifer o rwydweithiau ymchwil Prydeinig ac Ewropeaidd, gan gynnwys Late Antique Hilltop Settlements in Europe (LAHIS).
Addysgu
Mae Andy yn Gymrawd o Advance HE. Mae'n addysgu archaeoleg ganoloesol gynnar, yn cydlynu hyfforddiant gwaith maes a lleoliadau, ac yn cyfrannu at ystod o fodiwlau eraill ar lefel israddedig ac ôl-raddedig.
