Nigel Jeffries
I am a Principal Specialist & Manager at a MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology), a leading archaeological practice in London with considerable experience of the archaeology of London, publication, technical report writing and participating in and leading Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funded projects and for other research bodies. My role includes providing leadership for a specialist team, mentoring junior staff and monitoring financial and technical performance.
My specialties are two fold. First is the key role I have played as either Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator in the development, submission and the delivery the outputs and outcomes of AHRC projects. Central is working collaboratively with archaeological, museum and heritage professionals and academics based in the United Kingdom and international institutions.
Second is the dissemination of knowledge through the identification, recording, analysis, interpretation and reporting of artefacts dated to the 17th to 20th centuries from London, the United Kingdom and further afield. I have provided specialist and academic support, analysis and staff mentoring on archaeological assemblages for various institutions and projects abroad. Examples of the last has included working on archaeological and museum collections in the eastern Caribbean, the United Arab Emirates and Europe.
These approaches have enabled the development of new archaeological and academic approaches to studying material culture during the 17th to 20th–century. Details of my projects, publications, presentations, media plus CV can be found here and at https://mola.academia.edu/NigelJeffries (link also available in contact info for LinkedIn).
I have worked in various educational institutions teaching both A level and Masters Level students in the United Kingdom and currently consult for a provider of University applications to elite institutions for clients based in the UK and USA. This strong portfolio is added to by the numerous conference presentations and panel discussions I have been part of. Peer esteem includes being a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and Member accreditation at the Chartered Institute of Archaeologists (MCIfA).

The Great Fire of London is rightly presented as one of the most iconic moments in the history of the metropolis. This article assesses the archaeological evidence for the Great Fire of London.
The present study is a part of a major project with Museum of London Archaeology that aims to investigate the introduction and spread of parasitic diseases throughout London‟s history."
The discussion divides into three parts. First, we sketch the post-war development of urban post-medieval archaeology in London, and the range of archaeological collections and excavation sites that relate to the Georgian and Victorian city. Second, we consider some of the ways in which the analysis of these sources might be used in interdisciplinary urban historiography, especially
in the light of methodological approaches developed in North American and Australian urban archaeology. Third, we present a case study that explores how nineteenth-century
household archaeologies in London might be developed, examining some of the complexities and challenges of integrating archaeological methods into the study of households and
localities in the nineteenth-century metropolis. In conclusion we consider the prospects for the development of interdisciplinary approaches to the material remains of London’s modern past."
Ticinese (Swiss Italian) brothers – are introduced by considering their fundamental role in this bottle’s life. Third, the bottle is positioned within the arena of soft drinks consumption in late nineteenth-century London. The article concludes by bringing the past into the present by introducing the descendants of the
Buicchi brothers while discussing tangibility in historical archaeology. When these different inquiries are woven together, the role that both individuality and ethnicity played in the bottle’s history is negotiated via different media: marking of the stoneware bottle with the Biucchi name, the brothers’ participation in making and selling soft drinks and the restaurant business (and those they employed).
