Adrian Green: Appointed Lecturer in British Regional History at the University of Durham in 2000. He is a specialist in the social history and archaeology of the period 1450 to 1800, with a particular interest in geographical variations as an aspect of cultural behaviour. Following a BA in History at Oxford University (1992-5) and an MA in Archaeology from Durham University (1995-6), his PhD at Durham (1996-2000) took an inter-disciplinary approach to the study of housing in North-Eastern England ("Houses and Households in County Durham and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, c.1570-1730)". The approach formulated in that study is currently being applied to other areas, towards a book called Dwelling in England - Houses and Society 1550-1750. His reseach centres on the social history and archaeology of the period 1450-1750, and especially housing in Britain and its colonies between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. This uses an interdisciplinary approach, combining archaeological and historical sources and methods. Other subjects of research include regional and national identity.
