From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr Neil Faulkner is a professional archaeologist and is the editor of the magazine Current Archaeology.
Faulkner read political economy at King’s College, Cambridge and later became a teacher before turning to archaeology; he took his doctorate at the Institute of Archaeology, London, with a study of late Roman towns.
Faulkner was brought up in the Weald and was educated at The Skinners' School, Tunbridge Wells.
Faulkner is well-known as both a tour guide and lecturer, and has directed excavations for the tv programme, the Time Team.

- Apocalypse, the story of the Jewish revolt
