Hi! My name is Stephanie Vesseur, working in living history since 1999. Sustainability, prehistoric plants and experimental archeology are my main interests. I do love to work with wool, hides, and fibres.
A wild seed propagator and gardener (such as myself) relies on years of close human-plant interaction. The adaptability of domesticated and many wild plants to human economy and behaviour has always thrilled me. When I first read archaeological reports of frequent and large amounts of prehistoric charred seeds that were dumped in the ground I was bemused. It contrasted starkly with the care and sensitivity I use in the processes of seed harvest, drying and selection. So I started reading more and also charring seeds myself.
