Marc grew up in Brussels, Belgium. His PhD dealt with the social transformations that occurred in Europe in the third millennium BC. He moved to Britain in 2005, first in the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research in Cambridge and then the Cambridge Archaeological Unit.

Marc joined the University of Leicester in October 2008 to work on a Leverhulme-funded project on the continental background of British and Irish Prehistory, and the impact of developer-funded archaeology. See here for summary details of this project on British and Irish Prehistory in their European Context.
