Angela Boyle

Angela has been working in commercial archaeology since completing her Masters in Osteology in 1990. Between 2000 and 2005 she set up and managed the first ever specialist department in burial archaeology and osteology at Oxford Archaeology. She successfully completed a part-time PhD between 2014 and 2021 on early medieval violence in Scotland.

She has extensive experience of tendering in a commercial environment and in the production of often complex project designs alongside many years of project management experience. Angela is accustomed to designing and delivering large (1000+ burials) and small projects in both a commercial and an academic context. She has considerable experience of producing, editing and managing post-excavation projects, including assessments and published reports, covering sites of all periods. She has an extensive publication record and a particular interest in cremation technology, skeletal trauma and post-medieval burial.

Major projects include an Iron Age chariot from Ferrybridge, West Yorkshire, the Roman cemetery at Lankhills, Winchester, a Viking mass burial from Weymouth in Dorset, the ‘lost’ monastery of St Moluag on the island of Lismore, and post-medieval crypts at St George’s Church, Bloomsbury, London and St Luke’s Church, Islington, London.
