Gary Bankhead, Underwater Archaeologist

"I'm an amateur underwater archaeologist, author, small finds researcher and illustrator, television presenter and a Honorary Associate in the Department of Archaeology, Durham University. My main focus is researching the small finds and coordinating the wider research of the Durham River Wear Assemblage; an important group of objects described as a major research facility, probably the largest collection of late- and post-medieval finds in the North of England: a unique regional and national resource."
