Tania Marguerite Dickinson FSA (born 1946) is a British archaeologist specialising in early-medieval Britain.[3] Dickinson undertook undergraduate study at St. Anne's College, Oxford and postgraduate study at the Institute of Archaeology (Oxford). Her doctoral thesis, titled The Anglo-Saxon burial sites of the upper Thames region, and their bearing on the history of Wessex, circa AD 400-700, was supervised by Sonia Chadwick Hawkes and Christopher Hawkes (for the first year).[1]
In 1973 she was appointed Lecturer in Archaeology at University College, Cardiff before moving to the University York as a lecturer in 1979. She remained at York until her retirement in 2011.[3] Dickinson was one of the lead researchers on, and chair of, the Staffordshire Hoard Research Project (2014-2015). The final report for the project was published in September 2019.[4]
