Stone

I have worked in experimental archaeology for more than 20 years. My interest focuses on the technology and function of prehistoric stone and osseous artefacts, which I study mainly using the traceological method.

In the frame of my MA and PhD work I have become familiar with analytical description (at macroscopic scale), and functional analysis of stone artefacts.

Hello! My name is Lucia.
I am a woman with wide interests and experience, and always looking for new challenges and learning opportunities!

I am an avid practitioner of traditional living skills and primitive technology of all kinds and have followed this interest into the academic field of Experimental Archaeology, in which I hold an MA in Experimental Archaeology and a PhD on the ‘Microscopic Analysis of Prehistoric Tanning Technol

I am not a professionally trained archaeologist. I am a physicist by training. Until recently I was a research scientist at the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information technology at the University of California at San Diego.

Currently doing a PhD at the Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University.

My (large scale) experiments investigating my concepts as to how, specifically, large stone blocks were lifted by the Old Kingdom Egyptians commenced in 2005, although I had reduced to paper such concepts several years earlier.

Starting activities in 1987, first flint knapping. Later on I did all kinds of things, as long as they fit into the Dutch Mesolithic-period.

I'm an experimental archaeologist and replica-maker based in Bergen, Norway. Since about 1990, I've been working with public archaeology, giving lectures and flint knapping demonstrations at museums all over Norway.

I am an independent archaeologist working in cultural resource management in Arizona (Ph.D., Anthropology, UCLA, 1981), which mostly involves conducting archaeological surveys for companies or agencies planning activities that may affect archaeological remains.
