Valerie Maxfield FSA is a Roman archaeologist and emeritus Professor of Archaeology at the University of Exeter. She is a specialist in the archaeology of the Roman army and frontiers,and edited the Proceedings of the Devon Archaeological Society until December 2020.
In 1972 Maxfield excavated the Roman temporary camp at Eskbank,revealing its entrance complex,and in 1975 a series of pits at the camp.[5] She excavated the Roman fort of Camelon,Falkirk from 1975–1977,and discovered a new camp at Lochlands through excavations in 1980–1984.[6][7] Maxfield has worked in the Eastern Desert of Egypt since 1987 and excavated at Mons Porphyrites with David Peacock in the 1990s.[8][9] This led to a grant of £5,595 from the British Academy in 2005 to fund post-excavation work on the project.[10]
