I'm currently studying archeology at the University of Manchester. I studied environmental and experimental before that. My main interest is in Mesolithic studies. 

I am to complete my MA in Prehistoric Archaeology at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. My Master thesis is related to the pyro-technology and the effects of fire in the manipulation of the deceased in the Bronze Age Aegean through experimental approaches. 

My work has always been about love for nature and the outdoors. I grew up on one of the oldest organic-dynamic horticulture companies in the Netherlands, Sloterland, and received love for nature from early start.

I started my activities in 2006 when I have made first contact with the Duncarron project in Scotland, since then, I have studied the production systems from the Bronze Age up to the 11th century but my specialty is the Iron Age.

Giving lectures about Experimental Archaeology at the University of Hamburg since 2004, also in charge of the annual Experimental Archaeology Summer camp at the Stone Age Village of Albersdorf, Germany (AÖZA). Own Experiments on Neolithic Housing, ceramics, woodwork and textiles.

Graduated archaeological studies with specialization of archaeological monuments' conservation at NCU in Toruń, Poland. I specialize in archaeological objects' conservation made of organic material: wood, leather, textiles, and antlers.

Southwestern archaeologist (North America) now living and working on the Great Plains with an interest in ancient technologies, especially lithics and perishables.

I am an early technology specialist, conservation carpenter and master thatcher using researched techniques and materials for experimental archaeology purposes.

Started experiments with the construction of coracles and other boats about twenty years ago. For last five years have been presenting Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman lifestyles. Investigating various techniques used in those times such as hunting, cordage and food preparation.

I am a re-enactor for quite some years - many groups, and now I manage a group of Swiss and French craftspeople (La Tène period), Cerda. Parallel to my PhD studies in archaeology (in Strasbourg, France), I picked up experimental archaeology very fast, and with passion.
