Ancient Technology

Having had a keen interest in traditional crafts and living history, I went on to study Experimental Archaeology at University, specialising in viking age bloomery iron smelting.

I have recently completed a Graduate Certificate in Experimental Archaeology and Material Culture at University College Dublin. My background is quite varied and goes from I.T. through to Graphics Arts and onto Archaeology.

Experimental Archaeologist with a keen interest in education, outreach, and engagement. Co-host of the EXARC show podcast. I believe experimental archaeology is a fantastic tool with which to inspire and engage people.

I am Tomislav Ivančić, I come from Croatia but currently I live in Stuttgart, Germany. Ten years ago when I started my studies in Zadar University I became interested in reconstructing of flint tools and weapons.

I am a founder member of The Elka Project Ilkeston Derbyshire UK. A none for profit community archaeology group that also practices experimental archaeology in the community.

My research focuses primarily on Medieval Archaeology and Castle Studies, and more recently upon Death, Burial and the Funerary Industry, whilst my teaching focuses on Archaeological Practice, Landscape Archaeology and Cultural Heritage.

My name is Ben Grief, and I am based in Norfolk, England. I am a recent graduate of the Experimental Archaeology and Material Culture PgCert at University College Dublin. For my final project I attempted to create a replica of the Enderby Shield which has become a bit of an obsession.

Since 2022 I started as Archeo-tolk (archaeao-interpreter) to make children, teachers and families enthousiastic for life in the Stone Age. This is done through hands-on workshops and showing (hand-made) replicas of artefacts.

As an archaeologist and researcher, I am interested in understanding and explaining the technical traditions, human interactions and the socio-economic structure of prehistoric societies through the study of ceramic technology.

I have been interested in Archaeology and British Prehistory for over 45 years and nearly pursued a full-time career in this field. I have a background in design and worked as Product Development manager at The British Museum between 1997 - 2003.
