Miranda Aldhouse-Green
Miranda Jane Aldhouse-Green FSA (née Aldhouse, b. 24 July 1947) is a British archaeologist, who is Professor of Archaeology at Cardiff University.[1][2] She earned a degree at the Cardiff University, her MLitt at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford in 1974, and a PhD from The Open University in 1981.[1] Aldhouse-Green was a member of the faculty at the University of Wales, Newport between 1993 and 2006, being appointed Professor of Archaeology in 1998.[3] She previously held appointments at Worthing and Peterborough Museums and the Open University in Wales. Aldhouse-Green has been a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London (FSA) since her election in November 1979.[4] She is a former Vice-President (2002), then President of The Prehistoric Society and has been included in Who's Who since 2004.[1][3]
Her research interests are Iron Age and Romano-Celtic, particularly Gallo-Roman iconography and sacrificial activities.[5] A report from Universities UK (EurekaUK, June 2006) cites Aldhouse-Green's research into understanding the Celts as one of the "100 major discoveries, developments and inventions", by academics throughout the UK, to have transformed the world in the last 50 years.[6]
Aldhouse-Green has been married to fellow archaeologist Stephen Aldhouse-Green, formerly Stephen Green, since 1970.[1][7]
