Viking Age

My interest is the craft and technology of making malt and beer brewing over the ages. Wine is fermented from grapes. Mead is fermented from honey. Both grapes and honey contain natural sugars.

I became involved with experimental archaeology while working at the Irish National Heritage Park during my bachelor studies and then pursued experimental research for both by MA and PhD (at University College Dublin), which focused on early medieval house reconstructions.

I worked in the prehistorisch Dorp and did many professional events. I have been covering many eras on which the Bronze Age / Early Iron Age and the Early Middle Ages in Northern Europe are my main focus.
