Martin Millett

Martin John Millett BA, DPhil, FBA, FSA (born 30 September 1955) is currently the Laurence Professor of Classical Archaeology at the Faculty of Classics, University of Cambridge. Professor Millett is an archaeologist who currently excavates a Roman-period site in Yorkshire (with Peter Halkon), directs the Roman Towns Project (with Simon Keay and the British School at Rome), and directs the Greek Colonization and Archaeology of European Development project. Professor Millett has profoundly changed Romano-British archaeology by implementing and calling for new approaches to the excavated materials.

He previously was at the University of Durham (1981–1998) and the University of Southampton (1999–2001), having been awarded his doctorate from the University of Oxford.
