I am a historian who teaches early American and First Nations' history at Moravian College. Together with Sandy Bardsley, a Medieval historian, we will be offering a course on experimental archaeology in the spring.

I have been a founding board member of REARC in the US and have taught experimental archaeology courses at Western Carolina University since 2013. My research interests include foodways, pottery use and manufacture, Cherokee Studies, Neolithic Britain, Woodland and Mississippian studies.

I am member of a registered society named "RAUZWI - Lebendige Archäologie Mittelweser e.V.". This association is going to construct an Old Saxon farmyard nearby the burial ground of Liebenau near Nienburg in Lower Saxony, Germany. I am practising different types of handicraft.

Since 1993 I work on the field of living history, mainly covering the Middle Ages. I hold lectures in schools, kindergartens & universities in medieval clothing and equipment. I explain the development of arms and armour.

Organiser, producer, storyteller, craftsman, builder, fighter.

I first ventured into the history and heritage industry with my husband in 1988, presenting living history for heritage and education. As part of this, we presented both the social and military aspects of the past.

My interest is the craft and technology of making malt and beer brewing over the ages. Wine is fermented from grapes. Mead is fermented from honey. Both grapes and honey contain natural sugars.

I worked in the prehistorisch Dorp and did many professional events. I have been covering many eras on which the Bronze Age / Early Iron Age and the Early Middle Ages in Northern Europe are my main focus.
