Caitlyn Dunn
Caitlyn Dunn is a PhD candidate and sessional academic in the Department of History and Archaeology. She is interested in the archaeology of late antique and early medieval Europe, particularly in funerary rites and grave good burial. Caitlyn's current research uses comparative studies and engages with agency, the archaeology of belief, and emotion in the interpretation of grave good burial. Her thesis completed a comparative analysis of grave good burial rites in cemeteries found in England and Croatia. She is interested in how we can use cemetery archaeology to understand attitudes to death and the dead in early medieval Europe. More broadly, Caitlyn is interested in public archaeology, having a background in museum education and history teaching in secondary schools.
