Robert Janaway is an Associate Professor at the University of Bradford, affiliated with the School of Archaeological & Forensic Sciences within the Faculty of Life Sciences. With over 35 years of experience, he specializes in Archaeological Sciences and Forensic Archaeology. His work bridges archaeological and forensic research, focusing on taphonomy, material degradation, and decomposition processes. He has contributed to over 50 publications and collaborated internationally on projects such as the Christchurch Spitalfields crypt burials and field experiments in Tennessee and Peru.
Research interests include forensic taphonomy, burial environment analysis, and the conservation of vulnerable materials from historical contexts like shipwrecks (e.g., the Mary Rose) and battlefields (e.g., Bosworth Field). His field experiments using pig carcasses have advanced understanding of decomposition dynamics in graves. He has also provided expert testimony in criminal cases, leveraging his expertise in forensic archaeology.
Collaborations include work with Dr. Andrew Wilson and postgraduate students at the Anthropological Research Facility in Tennessee. His research emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches, integrating environmental and material science with archaeological and forensic methodologies.
