Academic career
Aldhouse-Green was a member of the faculty at the
University of Wales, Newport between 1993 and 2006, being appointed Professor of Archaeology in 1998. She previously held appointments at
Worthing and
Peterborough Museums and the
Open University in Wales. Aldhouse-Green was a Fellow of the
Society of Antiquaries of London (FSA) after her election in November 1979. She is a former Vice-President (2002), then President of
The Prehistoric Society and has been included in
Who's Who since 2004. A report from
Universities UK (
EurekaUK, June 2006) cites Aldhouse-Green's research into understanding the
Celts as one of the "100 major discoveries, developments and inventions", by academics throughout the UK, to have transformed the world in the last 50 years. Her 2018 book
Sacred Britannia: The Gods and Rituals of Roman Britain provides an in-depth overview of religion in the province, using evidence from epigraphy and material culture related to a variety of indigenous, eastern and military cults, and their associated rituals. ==Personal life==
