ProfessorRoland Fletcher

Over the past thirty years I have developed a global and interdisciplinary perspective in Archaeology, that integrates research, teaching and service. My fields of expertise are the theory and philosophy of archaeology, the study of settlement growth and decline and the analysis of large-scale cultural phenomena over time. In 1995 I published The Limits of Settlement Growth: a theoretical outline - an analysis of the past 15,000 years of settlement-growth and decline - with Cambridge University Press. I have an international reputation as a radical theorist and as the instigator of the Greater Angkor Project, which derives from my theoretical work and is part of a major research program in Cambodia.
