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 graduated in Cultural Heritage Management with a thesis on Anthropology in 2011. I published two articles with EXARC (2013-2 and 2018-3) and a book published in 2018 ("I guerrieri Piceni").
Treewright is a modern translation of the Old English treowwyrhta. The treewright's job was to manage and convert wood into timber, through splitting, hewing and dressing the raw logs using wooden wedges and a variety of specialist axes.
Food, that magic word. Today it's so easy to get it, just visit the nearest supermarket or restaurant. But how did people eat earlier? What did all the living in the prehistoric and the Middle Ages mean?

The big event of the summer, the Viking battle at Trelleborgen, will take place on July 3-5, 2020
The Viking age summer markets were full of life when dealing with large and small items - from the Norwegian quarry to Afghan carnelian beads. But trading places were also a concentration of values and therefore interesting for robbers. The king's men put an end to this - the merchants paid treasure to the king and the king's men made sure of the market and the free trade.
