Biography


After completing a PhD at Newnham, I held a lectureship at Durham University for nine years, before returning to a full-time research role at the Cambridge Archaeological Unit in 2004, and then taking up the post of Admissions Tutor in 2009.

I am currently working with Dr Catherine Hills on the publication of the final synthesis and chronology of the major Anglo-Saxon cremation cemetery at Spong Hill, Norfolk (funded by English Heritage), and with Dr Charlotte Roberts and Dr Sarah Groves (both of Durham University) on the publication of the Anglo-Saxon Cemetery at Bamburgh, Northumberland. My volume on the Roman settlement and cemeteries at Mucking, Essex, is also nearing publication.

My major publications include:

Lucy, S., Tipper, J. and Dickens, A. (2009) The Anglo-Saxon Settlement and Cemetery at Bloodmoor Hill, Carlton Colville, Suffolk. East Anglian Archaeology Monograph 131.

Lucy, S., Newman, R., Dodwell, N. and Hills, C. et al. (2009) ‘Burial of a princess? The Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Westfield Farm, Ely’. The Antiquaries Journal 89, 81–141.

Diaz-Andreu, M., Lucy, S., Babic, S. and Edwards, D. (2005) The Archaeology of Identity. Routledge.

Lucy, S. and Reynolds, A. (eds) (2002) Burial in Early Medieval England and Wales, Society for Medieval Archaeology Monograph 17.

Lucy, S. (2000) The Anglo-Saxon Way of Death (Stroud, Sutton Publishing).
