When did I start? So long ago I do not exactly recall. I've done very early hunting since the seventies. I learned to make my own arrows and bows to historic models. I'm learning to knap flint into points. I've learned to use the atlatl and darts, the sling (Balearic in this case).
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 been involved in experimental archaeology and reenactment since 2007. Initially still in the early Middle Ages, I quickly slipped and ended up in the Iron Age and Bronze Age. I was impressed by the Bronze Age string skirts that I am reconstructing.
Since 2015, I have been a member of the Ukrainian historical reenactment club Chorna Halych. Until 2019, together with my club, I took an active part in historical festivals in Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, and Slovakia.
I have studied Archaeology (MA) of North-Western Europe and Heritage Management and (Medieval) History (BA) at Leiden University. From a young age I have been involved with re-enactment of the Napoleonic Wars and Dutch Revolt/Eighty Years War.
I have been a Co- Director of Ancient Wessex Network CIC for 14 years, We put on demonstrations and displays of craftwork from Pre-History. I work mainly with Bronze, making mostly artifacts from the Bronze Age.
I enjoy ancient history and learning about technology that people used in their daily lives. I have had the privilege to take a class under Greg Nunn in flintknapping.
Interested primarily in the technology and crafts of the paleolithic period.
