I am an archaeologist and social historian with interest in the lived experience of historical clothing and occupational costume. I am currently working on a grant-funded project studying uniform and clothing worn by 19th century railway workers.

I am an archaeologist and artist who has been working on textiles and basketry of the past since 2014, though I have been making most of my life.

Helen has been an active educator and classroom teacher since the early 2000s, and has been delivering living history sessions and workshops to museums and primary schools since 2019.

Hi, I‘m Ursula. I am an objects conservator, based in Switzerland. Next to working in the Museum and having access to finds, I‘m in reenactment as an active part of the Legio XI from Vindonissa, portraying the time between 70-100 A.D.

I have worked as a field anthropologist in several historic and prehistoric sites, in Spain (roman and muslim context) and Israel (Natufian site of Ain Mallaha-Eynan)

I am an historic tailor and study prehistoric clothing for 20 years. For about 15 years do living history of the early iron age. Beside all kinds of textile technics, I try all skills early iron age people needed to know as specialy concening fishing.

I nalbind and other other textile crafts. We have done pit fired pottery.

Sally is an archaeologist and freelance heritage educator with an MSc in Experimental Archaeology. She is also an Honorary Associate Research Fellow at Exeter University.

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.
