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.

I'm currently awaiting graduation after handing in my master's thesis about polychrome decorative patination techniques in the Eastern Mediterranean Bronze Age.

I gained my MA in Experimental Archaeology from the University of Exeter in 2003. Since then I have worked as a blacksmith (specifically a tool maker), specialising in archaeologically accurate reproductions.

Full-time archaeologist working in Malta with a masters degree in experimental archaeology that mainly focused on metallurgy, ceramics and theory. I frequently find myself reading about and trying out different traditional techniques.

Assistant professor at the University of Bologna (Italy) in Prehistory and Protohistory since 2000, I have devoted main interest in the reconstruction of Bronze Age life in several parts of the world (Italy, Arabian peninsula, Central Asia).
