Constance joined us in 2021 as a trainee archaeologist. In late 2024 she joined the outreach team and works on outreach and learning for commercial archaeology projects. Her main interests are the archaeology of identity, Roman archaeology and engaging communities with their local heritage.
Derek Hurst
Author of many archaeological publications and editor of Later Prehistoric Research Assessment for the West Midlands. Derek has worked extensively in community archaeology and is a specialist in ceramic research. He has a professional interest in developing standards in partnership with museums to ensure archaeological data and objects are more fully integrated across the collections.
Elspeth Iliff
Elspeth joined Worcestershire Archaeology in 2015 with a background in Osteoarchaeology and has worked on a wide range of sites. She leads the fieldwork and post-excavation reporting of archaeological excavations, evaluations, watching briefs, and desk-based assessments. She has a particular interest in the provision of training to maintain standards across the sector.
