This project will be the first to comprehensively map the development of pre-Roman London by exploring the evidence of late Iron Age settlements. London's Iron Age record is currently hidden amongst hundreds of excavation reports and isolated discoveries. Current literature on the Iron Age landscape suggests a sparse, barely inhabited backwater. My interdisciplinary approach utilising archaeology and digital humanities will challenge this by generating a comprehensive survey, drawing together grey literature and vast unpublished materials from London's archaeological archives and museum collections. The project will thus allow a greater understanding of the character of the Thames on the eve of invasion, offering a new account of the pre-Roman landscape and context to the rise and origin of London. This is possible due to my professional experience in field archaeology and archives which have allowed me to develop relationships with all the relevant London heritage institutions.

该项目将是第一个通过探索铁器时代晚期定居点的证据来全面绘制罗马前伦敦发展地图的项目。伦敦的铁器时代记录目前隐藏在数百份挖掘报告和孤立的发现中。目前关于铁器时代景观的文献表明，这是一个稀疏的、几乎无人居住的穷乡僻壤。我利用考古学和数字人文学科的跨学科方法将通过产生一个全面的调查，从伦敦的考古档案和博物馆收藏的灰色文献和大量未出版的材料一起挑战这一点。因此，该项目将使人们更好地了解入侵前夕泰晤士河的特征，为前罗马景观和伦敦的兴起和起源提供新的描述。这是可能的，因为我在实地考古学和档案馆的专业经验，使我能够与所有相关的伦敦遗产机构建立关系。
