Andrew Westman specialises in the archaeology of standing buildings. He has analysed and recorded a huge variety of buildings and standing structures in London and elsewhere. Andrew joined the Museum of London in 1981 as a field archaeologist in the City of London, where he was responsible for the standard of excavation records and for systematic post-excavation analysis of records.
Andrew edited the latest edition of the Museum’s Archaeological Site Manual, a widely-known guide to making archaeological records on site. He also co-edited a catalogue of excavations conducted between 1972 and 1990 in Greater London (outside the City of London), and has managed the analytical work required for publication of monographs about excavations in Roman London's eastern cemetery (in Tower Hamlets) and the Roman settlement on the south side of the River Thames (in north Southwark), among others.
Andrew has taught a short postgraduate course in urban archaeology at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon, conducted an archaeological field survey of the Punic harbour at Carthage, Tunisia, and has also worked on several excavations and field surveys of medieval castles and settlements in northern Italy.
Andrew holds the IOSH Supervising Safely Certificate.
