Academic career

 
Excavations at Calleva Atrebatum in 2006

Between 1971 and 1974, he was employed as the personal research assistant of Professor Sir Barry Cunliffe;[4] first at the University of Southampton, then at the University of Oxford.[3] He joined the University of Reading as a lecturer in archaeology in 1974, and promoted to reader in 1985.[3] He received a personal chair in 1988 and was made Professor of Archaeology in 1993.[4] He has also been Dean of the Faculty of Letters and Social Sciences and Pro-Vice-Chancellor (1998–2004).[4]

 
In the 1990s Fulford was involved with excavations at Pevensey Castle (Sussex) and co-wrote a book on it with Stephen Rippon.

He served on both the Council and the Executive and Research Committees of the Society of Antiquaries of London.[6] He is currently the Honorary Treasurer of the British Academy.[7]
