Anwen Cooper

Anwen Cooper leads the UKRI-funded ‘Rewilding’ later prehistory project at Oxford Archaeology, in partnership with the Universities of Oxford, Exeter, York and Toulouse, Historic England and Knepp Castle rewilding initiative. She has been studying human-landscape relations in later prehistory for over 25-years, as a fieldworker and through her research into English landscapes, prehistoric grave goods, rivers, and the exceptionally well-preserved archaeology of the Must Farm pile-dwelling settlement, Cambridgeshire. The ‘Rewilding’ project team are developing an evidence base, methods and ideas for investigating past wildlife in order to build a stronger basis for archaeologists to link into ongoing nature recovery interests and agendas.
