Learn how to change flax to linen using traditional techniques. You’ll learn to be a ‘scutcher’ or a ‘breaker’ and change the plant fibre into a simple string. You’ll also have a chance to spin flax on a drop spindle and to learn some simple weaving techniques.
An interdisciplinary conference on the transformative power of fire.
Fire always leaves its mark and a wealth of information behind. Our aim is to bring together research on experimental archaeology, archaeomaterials, archaeobotany, anthracology, pyrotechnology, taphonomic investigations including burned bone, combustion features, or accidental burning.
Recent discussions about health, food safety and an awareness of vanishing traditions have resulted in an increasing interest in traditional foods and food heritage.
The Nordisk Brickvävningskonferens is supposed to be held every other year in the various Nordic countries. The purpose is to meet other tablet weavers, learn more about different finds, techniques and more. There will be interesting courses with very skilled teachers.
After a successful story of organising Viking Markets the Viking Village of Njardarheimr, located in beautiful Gudvangen, will yet again open its gates to hundreds of Vikings from all over the world.
Since the 1990s, experimental archaeology has been anchored in teaching and scientific research in pre- and early-historical archaeology at the University of Hamburg, and has been applied in different ways and considered in individual theses with a clear archaeological experimental contribution.
By 2004, the Experimental Archaeology with its own seminar and adjoin practice part is an integral part of the curriculum of Prehistoric and Early Archaeology. In addition to the introduction to the history, theories and methods of experimental archaeology, the seminar offers students the opportunity to develop their own projects with archaeological-experimental questions. The supervision of the students takes place on the whole by two experimental archaeologists and is supplemented by further experts for certain questions.
Dr Scott Stull is a medieval and experimental archaeologist with a particular interest in ceramics and food.
