Carleton Jones is a Senior Lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Galway. Dr. Jones's research is concerned with investigating the organization and dynamics of prehistoric European societies with a particular focus on Ireland. He is primarily focused on the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. In the past, he directed a long-term field project surveying and excavating on the Burren in western Ireland which was supported in part by the Heritage Council and the Royal Irish Academy. His current research continues to focus on prehistoric societies (primarily in Ireland but also throughout Europe). Dr. Jones received his Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge in 1997, and his MA (1992) and BA (1986) from California State University Long Beach. Prior to joining the staff at the University of Galway, Dr. Jones founded and ran Burren Archaeology Research (1997-2000), served as consultant archaeologist for the set-up of the County Clare Museum (1999-2000), and was Field Director (1989-93) and originally a crew member (1986-89) at Archaeology Resource Management Corporation (California).
