My Books

I have published eight books, including major editorial projects The Cambridge Companion to Historical Archaeology (edited with Mary Beaudry, 2006), The Oxford Handbook of Material Culture Studies (edited with Mary Beaudry, 2010), World Archaeology at the Pitt Rivers Museum: a characterization (edited with Alice Stevenson, 2013) and the six-volume A Cultural History of Objects (with William Whyte). My latest books are Lande: the Calais “Jungle” and Beyond (with Sarah Mallet, 2019), Archaeology and Photography (edited with Lesley McFadyen, 2019) and The Brutish Museums: the Benin Bronzes, Colonial Violence, and Cultural Restitution (2020).

In May 2025 my new book Every Monument Will Fall: a story of remembering and forgetting will be published by Heinemann Hutchinson. For future books I am represented by Charlie Brotherstone.
