About
Jody has worked as a curator at MAA since May 2014. Prior to that he was Curator of European Iron Age Collections at the British Museum for 8 years.
His main interests concern art and technology and he is currently involved in research projects examining: the technology of Iron Age cauldrons and their role as feasting vessels; Iron Age torcs and their relationship with the human body; and the role of so-called Celtic art in Iron Age society. He is also interested in human remains, particularly exploring issues surrounding display and storage in museums.
