Wood

I'm Anton van den Heuvel (1954), I started learning ancient skills at the end of the eighties at the prehistoric village of Eindhoven. I have worked very closely with Hans Horreus de Haas, he was very inspirational to me.

Interested priarily in the technology and crafts of the paleolithic period.

I am an archaeobotanist specialised in the anatomical identification of archaeological wood from Palaeolithic (Europe) and prehispanic archaeological contexts (Canary Islands).

I received my MSc in experimental archaeology in 2018 from University College Dublin and have since worked in the museum sector in the United States. My interests are in networks of connectivity during the European Bronze Age with a focus primarily on metal casting and technical ceramics.

I am currently working on my Master's degree in the Classics Program at the University of Kentucky, and I previously attended the University of North Carolina at Asheville. 

I'm a Palaeolithic arcaheologist and British Academy Postdoctoral Researcher at University of Reading, Department of Archaeology. I am also part of the research team working on the wood remains from Schöningen.

I'm an experimental archaeologist with a PhD from Exeter Uni (2016) and a music composer.

I am a traditional wood worker and an IT, specialized in automation and robotics. I have a strong interest in experimental archeology and little experience in pottery, wood firing and kiln building.

I became interested in preindustrial technology through archery, boomerangs, throwing sticks, and spear throwers in the 1980s.

I am currently at the beginning of my dissertation in the field of architectural history with the broad topic of the construction methods of the Scandinavians of the early Middle Ages.
