Our Directors

Neil Faulkner

Roger Ward

Neil tragically died after a short illness earlier this year. It is a struggle to describe the loss of Neil to our projects and to the wider world of
archaeology. I am sure that everyone who has worked with Neil and counted him as a friend owes a debt to his knowledge, support, and generosity of spirit. Although this is often said, in this case it is really difficult to imaging continuing without him, as his loss is so deeply felt by his friends and colleagues. We hope at some stage to continue with our projects, in memory of our dear, lovely, inspirational friend, Neil Faulkner.

Neil

​Neil has been organising archaeological field projects for almost 30 years. An archaeologist, historian, writer, lecturer, and broadcaster, he is the Editor of Military History Monthly, the Founder-Director of the Sedgeford Historical and Archaeological Research Project, the Co-Director of the Great Arab Revolt Project, and the author of a dozen books, including, most recently, Lawrence of Arabia’s War and A Radical History of the World.

Roger

Roger is an IT and technical specialist, and archaeological surveyor. He first met Neil in the deserts of southern Jordan while working on the Great Arab Revolt Project. Roger became a leading member of the GARP Team, producing a blog for 8 seasons, as well as publishing articles, and now regularly gives talks on the project. Roger and Neil soon forged a close and enduring working relationship. He is also co-director of Military History Live with Neil. ​
