Bone / Antler

I am to complete my MA in Prehistoric Archaeology at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. My Master thesis is related to the pyro-technology and the effects of fire in the manipulation of the deceased in the Bronze Age Aegean through experimental approaches. 

I am currently doing my PhD research on flint artefacts from the transitional period of Mesolithic to Neolithic in Belgium by use-wear analysis. For this research, I perform a lot of experiments using flint tools for 'Mesolithic activities', like plant or hide processing.

Dr. in Quaternary and Prehistory with European mention in the University Rovira i Virgili of Tarragona (Spain) in collaboration with the University of Ferrara (Italy).

I graduated from the University of York in 1994 with a BA in Archaeology and started making replica Viking Age artefacts in 1999, while working at the Jorvik Viking Centre.

Graduated archaeological studies with specialization of archaeological monuments' conservation at NCU in Toruń, Poland. I specialize in archaeological objects' conservation made of organic material: wood, leather, textiles, and antlers.

Peter Groom is an Environmentalist (MSc) and Experimental Archaeologist (MA), he has a PhD in Mesolithic archaeology, is a freelance experimental archaeologist and primitive skills / bushcraft practitioner, and is a director of the Mesolithic Resource Group (

My MA thesis was devoted to techno-typological analysis of Lower Palaeolithic tools.

Archaeologist using experimental archaeology (production and use of antler combs) to be able to interpret traces on early medieval combs through use wear analysis.

I completed my MA Archaeology from the University of Aberdeen in 2014, for which I completed a dissertation looking at the possible uses of seaweed in Viking Age Metallurgy.

I work in the field of experimental archaeology for more than 15 years. Mainly, I specialize in the analysis of function (using use-wear method) of the prehistoric stone and bone/ antler tools.
