About
These are the professional web pages of David
Platt, expatriate British archaeologist and
ancient historian, born in Mossley (in Greater
Manchester), alumnus of SDUC/CPDS (now Trinity Saint David) and
UCL's Institute of Archaeology.
In 2008, I earned my Ph.D. in Classics
(Archaeology Track) from Stanford. I was
Stanford's Classics Bibliographer, in addition to
being Operations Manager for Stanford's Art &
Architecture Library.* In the summer of
2010, I gave up these positions to follow my wife
east—to the Greater Philadelphia Area.
I am currently working as a Special Collections
Assistant in Princeton University's Marquand
Library of Art & Archaeology. Before that, I
was a Library Services Assistant at the University
of Pennsylvania's (aka UPenn's) Van Pelt Library.
In fall 2011, I taught “Introduction to
Archaeology” at Rowan University, as an adjunct
professor.
If none of this means anything to you, you've got
the wrong David Platt (there are a lot of us
around).
***
Just a heads up: As a recent-ish but
permanent transplant to the Greater
Philadelphia Area and South New Jersey, I am
on the look-out for archaeological projects
with which I can get involved. If you think
that someone with my background
and experience (résumé, here)
would be a useful addition to your team, in
whatever capacity, don't hesitate to contact
me.
* Obviously, none of
the opinions you'll find on these pages are
necessarily those of my current or former
employers. |
