William Davies is Professor of Palaeoanthropology at the University of Southampton (UK), and has developed strong research interests in the later European Palaeolithic (100,000-10,000 years ago) over the last 30 years. His research has focused on integrating palaeoanthropological, palaeoclimatic, and palaeoenvironmental datasets within robust chronological frameworks (Stage 3 Project, 1996-2002; S2AGES project, 2001-2004; EFCHED and RESET programmes, 2004-2013), as well as the characterisation of creativity and innovation in ceramic and other Palaeolithic technologies. He has lectured at the University of Southampton since 2006, and before then held post-doctoral research positions at the universities of Cambridge, Southampton, Oxford, and London.
