Duncan Mackay

Duncan Mackay is an archaeologist with a love of landscape and stories. He believes that every place, indoors or out, urban, rural or wild, has its own link with the past, and a unique tale to tell.
Duncan worked in archaeology for nearly two decades, predominantly with the University of Cambridge Archaeological Unit. He left full-time work to be a stay-at-home dad and pursue his own research.

He lives in Norfolk with his wife, son and soppy Black Labrador, indulging his passion for walking marshes and deserted beaches, and hurling himself into freezing rivers at dawn. He likes hares. And hedgehogs.

Echolands: A Journey in Search of Boudica (Hodder, 2023) is his first solo book.
