Gillian Hovell

Gillian, professionally known as 'The Muddy Archaeologist', is an award-winning writer, author, ancient historian, archaeologist and Latin expert. Her hands-on excavations on archaeological sites range from Pompei and Hadrian's Wall from the Roman period to prehistoric sites such as the stunning Neolithic Ness of Brodgar in Orkney. Gillian is now using her expertise to communicate ancient history to wider audiences not only on cruises and tours - including CICERONI's travels - but in courses, lectures and events in person nationally and internationally, online (including Neolithic Orkney) and in the media, most recently on Radio 4 and BBC World Service).
