David Mullin is British archaeologist specialising in the study of prehistory. He has worked at the University of Worcester, Oxford Archaeology, and the University of Oxford.

Education[]

Mullin studied archaeology at the University of Bristol, where he completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2000, and a Master of Philosophy degree in 2001. He went on to conduct research at the University of Reading where he completed a Doctor of Philosophy in 2011.^[2]

Career[]

After completing an M.Phil at Bristol, Mullin developed his Masters' thesis into a book titled The Bronze Age Landscape of the Northern English Midlands; it was published in 2003 by Archaeopress. A review by prehistorian Alex Gibson noted that the scope of the book was restricted to Cheshire, Staffordshire, and northern Shropshire rather than the northern midlands more widely, but did suggest that works such as this would help the field of Bronze Age archaeology become less reliant on examples derived from the Wessex region.^[3]

Mullin subsequently worked for Gloucestershire County Council and Oxford Archaeology.^[4] Mullin was Senior Lecturer in Archaeology,^[5] working there from 2008 to 2018.^[4] During this time, Mullin took part in the 2008 Theoretical Archaeology Group conference; he edited a collection of papers on the theme of borders and wrote the introduction (which drew on his doctoral research) and the conclusion.^[6]

In 2012, Mullin's book A Landscape of Borders: the prehistory of the Anglo-Welsh borderland was published by Archaeopress. The work was based on his doctoral thesis, completed at the University of Reading. A review by Keith Ray for the Prehistoric Society assessed that the book "makes an important point-in-time contribution to research into, and awareness of, some critical classes (and groups) of prehistoric material. The work on hoards ... and on temper sourcing in particular, will provide a springboard for future important research".^[7]
