Biography
I am Polish by birth and have lived in Scotland since 1972. Embarking on my studies at the University of Edinburgh in 1974, I was privilleged to be taught by Stuart Piggott in his last couple of years of teaching. I graduated with MAHons in 1978, and was awarded a PhD degree for my research on the north European long barrows in 1985. I became a lecturer in archaeology at the University of Edinburgh in 1989 and was promoted to senior lecturer in 1997. Over the years I held numerous University administrative posts, among others Quality Assurance Director (1993-1999) and Associate Postgraduate Dean (2000-2003).
