Alison Sheridan is Head of Early Prehistory in the National Museums of Scotland Archaeology Department, where she has worked since 1987.
She was part of the curatorial team responsible for the Early People gallery of the Museum of Scotland.
She is at present working on two long-term artefact research projects, which will both be published as Corpora: one, of the Bronze Age faience ornaments of Britain, Ireland and adjacent parts of north-west Europe; and the other, of jet and jet-like jewellery in Britain and Ireland from the Neolithic and Bronze Ages.
Both these projects involve collaboration with a number of other museums and experts.
She is also responsible for co-ordinating the NMS Archaeology Department’s radiocarbon dating programmes.
