Julian Richards is Professor of Archaeology at the University of York, where he specialises in early medieval archaeology and computer applications in archaeology. In 1985 he co-authored the first textbook in archaeological computing for Cambridge University Press, and has subsequently written numerous papers and edited a number of books on the applications of information technology in archaeology.
In his early medieval research Julian specializes in Anglo-Saxon and Viking Age England, especially mortuary behavior and settlement evolution. He has directed excavations of Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Scandinavian settlements at Cottam, Cowlam, Burdale, and Wharram Percy. He has also excavated the only Viking cremation cemetery in the British Isles at Heath Wood, Ingleby. He undertook one of the first research projects to make use of metal-detected evidence to investigate the Viking and Anglo-Saxon Landscape and Economy of England, and he is currently collaborating with Professor Dawn Hadley to investigate the Viking Great Army of the late 9th century and their winter camp at Torksey (Lincs), with an extended project, Tents to Towns, on the broader impact of the Viking Great Army.
