Hello Everyone,

I am currently doing my PhD research on flint artefacts from the transitional period of Mesolithic to Neolithic in Belgium by use-wear analysis. For this research, I perform a lot of experiments using flint tools for 'Mesolithic activities', like plant or hide processing.

I orginially trained as a professional embroiderer at the Royal School of Needlework and then gained a degree in Archaeology at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

I have studied Prehistory at Leiden University and got my master's degree there. After a few years of excavating I turned my attention to archaeology & education.

Faculty member in the history department at Moravian College, starting to teach experimental archaeology in spring 2018. Particularly interested in the medieval period and in textiles -- spinning, weaving, etc.

Dr Peter Groom is an Experimental Archaeologist (MA) and Environmentalist (MSc). He is a director of the Mesolithic Resource Group (www.mesolithic.org.uk).

I am member of a registered society named "RAUZWI - Lebendige Archäologie Mittelweser e.V.". This association is going to construct an Old Saxon farmyard nearby the burial ground of Liebenau near Nienburg in Lower Saxony, Germany. I am practising different types of handicraft.

I teach experimental archaeology in the Anthropology department at Humboldt State University, California. The labs and classes provide student insight into past technologies, helping them recognize the tools and evidence in the field.
