Dr. Lemont “Monty” Dobson is an American historian, archaeologist and documentary filmmaker whose curiosity and passion for the human story has led him to travel the world. In addition to excavating Iron Age and medieval archaeological sites in Britain, Monty is an avid adventurer: he has scuba dived with sharks in the Arabian Gulf and with Barracudas off the coast of Cuba. An enthusiastic equestrian, he has trekked across the Egyptian desert and the mountains of the American West. Whether hiking the length of Hadrian's Wall or exploring for petroglyphs in New Mexico, history and adventure are Monty's passion.

Monty is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Drury University. A specialist in medieval archeology (Vikings, Anglo-Saxons and Celts!), Monty holds a Ph.D. in Archeology from The University of York in York, England. He has also served as a member of senior management with the internationally famous Jorvik Viking Centre Museum and lectured at universities around the world.
