Jacqui Mulville

[1][2] Mulville is a field archaeologist whose research focuses on osteoarchaeology, human and animal identities, and island archaeologies concentrated on Britain.

[3][4] Volunteer work, however, marked the start of her career in archaeology, and she worked as a field archaeologist for English Heritage on sites including Beeston Castle, and as a research assistant for English Heritage at the University of Cambridge examining evidence from Roman and later periods from Chelmsford (Caesaromagus) and Colchester (Camulodonum).

[3][4] She undertook a PhD at the University of Sheffield, under the supervision of Paul Halstead, being awarded a doctorate in 1995 for her thesis 'Milking, Herd Structure, and Bone Chemistry: An Evaluation of Archaeozoological Methods for the Recognition of Dairying'.

[3][5] This analysed the identification of milking, using domestic dairy cattle and St Kilda Soay Sheep as study populations.

[7] This investigated the only two bodies known to have been mummified among the early tribes of Europe, although Mulville suggested the practice may have been more common than we know, and said that the finds at Cladh Hallan raised more questions than they answered.
