Little Woodham is a re-created hamlet near Gosport, Hampshire (UK). It features houses and workshops set in the year 1642, just at the start of the English Civil War. It is peopled by volunteers dressed in period costume who illustrate the life and activities of ordinary village people at that time.

I started experimental archaeology work in 2017 during my undergrad at Cardiff University, continuing this in my archaeology degrees, as a self-employed heritage educator and as a craftsperson making archaeological reproductions for heritage organisations.
The purpose of the session was to bring together researchers working in different fields who engage in experimental archaeology as part of their work. Its aim was to fuse experimental and experiential archaeology with reconstructing past narratives. The session was well-attended, and not only because of the bespoke EXARC biscuits! The papers were divided into the categories of organic materials, pyrotechnic processes, and educational and cultural significance.
I am an archaeologist and social historian with interest in the lived experience of historical clothing and occupational costume. I am currently working on a grant-funded project studying uniform and clothing worn by 19th century railway workers.
