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.
I am Tomislav Ivančić, I come from Croatia but currently I live in Stuttgart, Germany. Ten years ago when I started my studies in Zadar University I became interested in reconstructing of flint tools and weapons.
Ancient painting techniques are my field of interest - everything from scribbling on things and walls to high art. I started the exploration in 2009 with humble tempera experiments, probed into encaustic techniques in 2014, painted a ship with pliny-style wax paint in 2018.
My historical focus is on the early Middle Ages and I volunteer at the Lauresham Open Air Laboratory for Experimental Archaeology at the Lorsch Abbey World Heritage Site.
I received my B.A. in Archaeology from Cornell University in 2015, and my M.A. in Historical Archaeology from the University in Massachusetts, Boston in 2020.
Coming from an art and history involved family I not only started painting/drawing early age but also have been around historical site, museum an even excavations as youngsters.
In 2017 I combined that all with my passion for body-art and started tattooing the ancient way without machine.
I am a PhD Candidate in the Scandinavian Studies Department at University College London, England. My main project involves interdisciplinary archaeological research focusing on specifics of early medieval textiles and trade in Northern Europe.
I was working from 6/2000 until 5/2023 as a director of Kierikki Centre and was active in EXARC meetings and OpenArch-project.
