I started in 1997 to work at Ekehagens Forntidsby, where I got in contact with flintknapping. Worked there for 8 years as schoolinstructor, prehistory technologies as flintknapping. I worked with Uppsala, Lund and Malmö universities with different Flint/stone experiments.

I’m Jen. I’m a student of History, Heritage and Archaeology.
I’m an archaeologist, currently working at the Traceology and Controlled Experiments (TraCEr) lab, MONREPOS, Archaeological Research Centre and Museum for Human Behavioural Evolution, RGZM. I'm interested how past human populations during the Pleistocene used their stone tools.
