Academic career

Millett then moved to the University of Southampton where he was Professor of Archaeology from 1999 to 2001. In 2001, he joined the University of Cambridge as the Laurence Professor of Classical Archaeology.[4] The appointment was accompanied by a Fellowship of Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge.[5] In 2012, he was appointed head of the School of Arts and Humanities at Cambridge.[6]
Millett is an archaeologist who excavates a Roman-period site in Yorkshire (with Peter Halkon), directs the Roman Towns Project (with Simon Keay and the British School at Rome), and directs the Greek Colonization and Archaeology of European Development project. Millett has profoundly changed Romano-British archaeology by implementing and calling for new approaches to the excavated materials.
Outside his university work Millett holds a number of appointments. He is a vice-president of the British Academy with responsibility for the British Academy Sponsored Institutes and Societies.[2] He has held three senior positions at the Society of Antiquaries of London: he was director from 2001 to 2007, treasurer from 2007 to 2011,[1] and its president since 2021.[7] He is a member of the Antiquity Trust, which supports the publication of the archaeology journal Antiquity.[8]
