(The author's face)

This website belongs to me, John Palmer. I am a computer programmer, retired, and amateur archaeologist. I moved to Dorset with my wife Pat in March 2000; sad to say, she died in 2020.

I belong to the Dorset Natural History and Archaeological Society, which owns and operates the Dorset Museum. Please support the Society and the Museum, perhaps by becoming members.

You may write to me here.


In archaeology, my chief interest is the Romano-British period, which is conventionally reckoned as AD 43-410, but really should include a century or so before and after. My main research is on the Roman Purbeck Stone industry.
Here is a short technical article about my use of computing in archaeology.
In computing, my specialties were the TeX typesetting program, Perl programming language and the Linux operating system. As I am retired, my CV is of no interest.
