Ancient Technology

my name is Fabian, and I have been passionate about experimental archaeology and historical craft techniques for many years. I am particularly fascinated by textile techniques such as tablet weaving, nalbinding, and warp weighted looms, which I also practice hands-on.

I'm an archaeologist, lithic specialist & flint knapper. I have been an avid ancient skills practitioner for a little over a decade, and whilst knapping is my main focus, I produce a wide range of replicas, primarily focused on the pre-agricultural archaeology of northern Europe.

I am an archaeologist interested on prehistoric metallurgy, ancient mining and Bronze Age.
