Ancient & Traditional Technology (A&TT) is the research & execution of ancient, historic or traditional techniques which we are aware of from archaeology. It is the presentation of past crafts & techniques purely as behavior, and does not require costumed interpretation or an experimental goal. A&TTs should preserve their originating context of time & space. A&TT is replication or reconstruction with the intention of a tangible product. Practice and skill development in the technology are of great value and should always precede controlled experimentation. Many public demonstrations such as bronze casting, iron smelting or stone and bone processing are Ancient & Traditional Technology.

Colonial Williamsburg is unique among open-air museums. It encompasses 70 hectares (173 acres), where there are no barriers, except for motorised vehicles. Visitors can walk along the streets and visit shops, although an admission ticket is needed to enter workshops and interpretive centres. People working at Colonial Williamsburg are dressed in period costumes and are well versed in both history, the crafts they demonstrate, and in explaining them to the public.
The textile fragments from the Oseberg tomb (834 AD) in Norway are considered the world's largest and most important textile finds from the Viking Age. Among the textiles, 48 tablet-woven bands were identified and roughly divided into five categories by Margareta Nockert: I) Brocade, II) Tabby, III) Mixed I and II, IV) Ready threaded and V) Three or more colours without brocade (Nockert, 2006, pp. 147-155).
