A lecturer at the University of Wales, Newport has received the accolade of being included in the latest edition of Who's Who, joining what the Times newspaper calls 'a list of academic greats who are shaping Britain'.
Professor Miranda Aldhouse-Green, a European prehistorian specialising in the archaeology of ritual and religion, said, "It is one of the nicest honours to be accorded an academic because it is a totally objective, external recognition of one's contribution to scholarship in Britain."
It's been a busy year for Professor Aldhouse-Green, as she has also been filmed for a TV programme about a recently-discovered Bronze Age sky-disc which features early man's attempts to map the heavens.
In the 'Horizon' programme she gave her expert opinion on the significance of the ancient sky-disc dating from around 1600 BC, which was found by metal-detectors in Germany.
