Ancient Technology

I am a master's student in archaeology at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University. My research interests are typological and use-wear analysis of stone artefacts, Rock art. In 2023, I started experimental archaeology.

Since 2008, shortly after completing my PhD, I have been working as a freelance archaeologist specializing in the study of ancient technology and provenance, primarily of Neolithic and Bronze Age pottery found at sites in the Aegean.

Conducting research on the clay, pigments and firing techniques used in Cyprus from the Neolithic, Early-Middle and Late Bronze periods to the Iron Age for over twenty years.

Hi There! I am a PhD student at Bournemouth University studying the impact of long-term engagement with experimental archaeology and ancient craft gestures on individual and community mental health, my research is entitled "Experimental Health: Craefting a Better Wellbeing".

Hi, I‘m Ursula. I am an objects conservator, based in Switzerland. Next to working in the Museum and having access to finds, I‘m in reenactment as an active part of the Legio XI from Vindonissa, portraying the time between 70-100 A.D.

I have been a designer/maker for many years, with a particular interest in precious metals and wood, but originally trained as a ceramicist. Now a first-year Masters student in Experimental Archaeology at the University of Exeter. Obsessed with the transformative power of fire.....

I have worked as a field anthropologist in several historic and prehistoric sites, in Spain (roman and muslim context) and Israel (Natufian site of Ain Mallaha-Eynan)

Specialist in general experimental archeology (since 2012), with extensive practice in the Bronze Age and Neolithic.

When did I start? So long ago I do not exactly recall. I've done very early hunting since the seventies. I learned to make my own arrows and bows to historic models. I'm learning to knap flint into points. I've learned to use the atlatl and darts, the sling (Balearic in this case).
