Living History

My main interest is food, cooking techniques and culinary experiences from the 8th to 17th century Europe and Scandinavia.

Full time living historian with five years experience. I have a passion for ancient technology specialising in the use and working of bone and antler in a Norse/Viking context.

I have been studying and training in a range of Asian and European traditional martial arts for over 20 years. I run a number of medieval martial combat clubs (looking at combat as a martial art and not a sport) and also interested in earlier period combat of the Greeks and Romans.

Since the early '90s of the last century I've been a re-enactor of both the Viking period, and of WW2. In my Viking persona I show kids and their parents what kit a warrior would have, such as a mail shirt, helmet, shield and sword and what the cost of such equipement would be.

I started doing re-enactment in 2005, quickly getting involved in keeping other reenactors feed.

Master's student in Archaeology at Cardiff University, specialising in British Prehistory and experimental/experiential archaeology.  I am doing my dissertation on the use of experiential and experimental archaeology in studying prehistoric societies under the supervision of Ian Dennis.

I'm a PhD student from Ukraine and a member of the living history club "Zastava (Stronghold)". I working on my dissertation about medieval log-boats from the southwestern lands of Kievan Rus' in the 10th-13th centuries.

My main hobbies are experimental archaeology and historical reenacting  of the early Middle Ages in the territory of Kievan Rus. My experiments were based on horn and bone and stone processing, primitive woodworking, fire breeding, and primitive tooling experiments.
