Timothy Taylor (born 1960) is a British-based archaeologist specialising in prehistory and archaeological theory.
His academic work began studying ornamental metalwork of the Balkans and western Asia.
Since, his focus has shifted and he has done extensive work on the archaeology of cannibalism, sexuality and material culture theory.
Taylor is known for his closely reasoned, wide-ranging, and provocative ideas, and for his ability to connect with a general audience of readers and viewers.
Taylor is currently Jan Eisner Professor of Archaeology, Comenius University in Bratislava.
