Ancient Technology

Hi, everyone! I am a student at Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, Romania. My interest lies in the painting of the Neolithic and Chalcolithic pottery from South-Eastern Europe, especially the mysteries of the ceramics of the Cucuteni-Trypillia culture.

I focus on the function of the prehistoric lithic and bone/antler objects, as well as early farming, and cultivation and processing of plants in the Stone Age.

As part of my PhD, I carry out my research on the topic of the shipwright's toolkit over the long Braudelian period. This work involves the multidisciplinarity between archeology, history of technology as well as approaches such as as traceology, ethnography and experimentations.

I am a PhD candidate in Analytical Chemistry under the Analysis of Cultural Heritage and Archeological Objects research group at the Institute of Chemistry, University of Tartu, Estonia.

I am a basket maker and woodworker, with side interests in blacksmithing and textiles, and what amounts to an obsession with bast fibre, especially lime (Tilia spp.)

My name is Gerald A. Livings and I am a Jewelry Educator.

I am a Masters student in Experimental Archaeology at Exeter University in the UK. Long time re-enactor and bushcrafter. Current special interests are textiles and weaving, landscape and mobiliy and all things experimental!

I am the lecturer of Prehistory Archaeology and Stone Age Archaeology of Georgia at the Tbilisi State University from 2016.

Currently studying for a MA in Roman Archaeology at the University of York and an experienced potter. My current research project involves building a roman kiln and experimenting with firings.

As a trained archaeologist, I have 30 years of experience in analysing (metal) slag from archaeological excavations in several European countries. To understand the process of slag formation it is necessary to have both theoretical and practical knowledge.
