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 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 Library Clerk in the University of Pennsylvania’s (aka UPenn’s) RTQM department. This fall, I will also be teaching “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).
