Natasha Harlow is an archaeologist and educator based in Shropshire. She studied for her BA and MA at the University of East Anglia and worked in museums and heritage for ten years, before relocating to Nottingham for her doctoral research. She published her first book "Belonging and Belongings: Portable Artefacts and Identity in the civitas of the Iceni" based on her PhD studies, in 2021.

Natasha's research interests are in later Prehistoric and Roman finds, and what they can tell us about the people and places of ancient Britain. She enjoys sharing her enthusiasm for the stories beneath our feet with anyone who will listen! When she's not digging for artefacts, she is happiest with her hands in the soil of the community garden where she lives in rural Shropshire.
