In addition I have been the main author (or occasionally a second author) on well over 250 reports for Historic England (previously English Heritage) – these falling under the various format changes as Ancient Monuments Lab Reports, Centre for Archaeology Reports, EH Research Department Report Series, and now HE Research Report Series. These are all downloadable from the HE website - https://historicengland.org.uk/research/results/reports/

I’ve also written nearly 600 Oxford Dendrochronology Lab Reports (some with Dan, and some with Ross) and other individual reports throughout the years.
