Hannah O'Regan is Professor of Archaeology and Palaeoecology in the Faculty of Arts at Nottingham University.

She is particularly known for her work on carnivores - from sabretoothed cats to brown bears - and their interactions with humans through time. Her specialism is in the bones of humans and other animals - osteology - but she also uses archives, inscriptions, sculpture and many other sources of evidence to piece together life in the past.

The work on bears relates to an NERC funded research project 'The decline of the bear: tracing the extinction of Britain's largest carnivore'.
