Timothy graduated from the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 2003 with a B.A. (with Honors) in Archaeology. He then studied for an M.Sc. in Forensic Archaeological Science at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London (2004). Since 2005, he has concentrated on a number of projects based in Middle East as a trench supervisor, surveyor, cartographer and GIS technician. These projects include the Greater Abydos Mapping Project, the Shunet el-Zebib Conservation Project, the Kilise Tepe Archaeological Project, the Brown University Petra Archaeological Project (2010-present), and the Brown University Abydos Project: Ptolemaic Settlement Site (2009-present). Timothy's research interests are based within the use of urban space, patterns of settlement and migration, and perceived ethnicity within the material culture of the Hellenistic World and especially in regard to Egypt and Bactria. In addition, his interests also encompass the methodology of cartography, GIS and remote sensing as it is applied more broadly across time periods within archaeology. He also has interests relating to the historiography of Egyptology and their relation to what could be termed 'political archaeologies'.<
