John G. Roberts, MA, BA

John currently works at Gwynedd Archaeological Trust, where has been involved in projects concerned with cultural resource management, agri-environmental schemes, historic landuse practices and biodiversity, the archaeology of woodlands, traditional field boundaries, sustainability and landscape survey. A key responsibility of his post involves the provision of heritage management advice to the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) as part of the all-Wales agri-environmental scheme, Tir Gofal. He also conducts farm surveys and liases with landowners as part of the scheme. He is responsible for monitoring the impact of forestry-related operations and activities on the cultural heritage of north-west Wales, acting as consultee to Forest Enterprise and the Forestry Commission as well as contributing to archaeology related forestry policy.

John gained a BA in Archaeology and Prehistory (first class honours, 1995) and MA in Landscape Archaeology (distinction, 1997) from the University of Sheffield. He has extensive landscape survey experience in Wales, England and abroad.

John has a strong interest in environmental issues, and liases with representatives of local environmental bodies, including local authorities, on a regular basis. He has presented tutorials on cultural heritage management and the historic environment, and has acted as occasional lecturer on archaeology and environmental planning related courses, to MA and BA students at the University of Wales, Bangor.

John currently edits the Council for British Archaeology Wales branch newsletter and maintains the Gwynedd Archaeological Trust website (www.heneb.co.uk). His research interests include later prehistoric landscapes and he is joint co-ordinator of the Ardudwy Early Landscapes Project with Dr. Robert Johnston of the University of Wales Bangor (www.bangor.ac.uk/history/ardudwy/).
