The Experimental Archaeology Group was established in 2017 to create the opportunity for both staff and students to get hands-on experience of making, using and researching the artefacts and material culture that they learn and teach about within degree units.
Since forming, the group has explored prehistoric and historical ethnographic knapping techniques, prehistoric bone and antler working, organic cordage from a range of plant fibre sources and willow work, including basketry and fish traps.
These sessions provide us as archaeologists with a new understanding of certain aspects of material culture, including time, skill, knowledge, effort and sensorial experience, all of which expand our understanding of the past.
The School of History, Classics and Archaeology is home to several archaeologists conducting experimental archaeology.
Dr Chloe Duckworth has experience with among others Roman and medieval glass. She teaches for example the module “you are what you make”. This module explores - and helps you to learn - the skills and techniques humans have used for millennia to control, manipulate, and construct the world around us.

The Nagasaki Museum of History and Culture is one of the few museums in Japan dedicated to the history of international exchange. The Museum holds approximately 81,000 objects in its precious collection, including historical documents, art and craftworks that tell the story of Nagasaki, the sole window open to foreign countries during the period of Japan’s national isolation.
In addition, part of the Nagasaki Magistrate's Office (a local agency of the central government in the Edo period called bugyōsho) has been faithfully reconstructed based on historical materials, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of feudal Japan. The craft center offers hands-on classes of Nagasaki’s traditional crafts.
Boso-no-Mura (房総のむら, Bōsō no mura, "Boso Village") is a place that tells of the history and culture of Japan, and of its disappearing heritage. Set in a splendid natural environment, you can enjoy a hands-on experience learning about the changes that have occurred in clothes, food, housing and crafts over the ages from prehistoric times, as well as the traditional lifestyles of the people of the Boso region. Walking around the splendid natural environment of the museum, you can have hands-on experience learning about the changes that have occurred in the clothes, food, housing and crafts of our ancestors from prehistoric and ancient times up to the present.
The Boso-no-Mura complex features the “Fudoki-no-Oka Area” where you can learn about history and nature, and the “Furusato-no-Waza Arts and Crafts Area” which features reproductions of the houses of farmers and merchants.
In 2009, confronted to the study of throwing sticks collections from several museums and private collections (including more than three hundreds artefacts) and the need to evaluate their aerodynamic and functions, I developed a throwing stick classification and a methodology to measure their characteristics (Bordes, 2014). This approach is complementary to the gathering of ethnographic or archaeological contextual data to confirm or invalidate hypotheses about theirs functions.
