Here's the line-up:

Thomas Keyes is an Scotland-based artist who specialises in the reconstruction of insular manuscripts and their material components, in particular the parchment and pigments. He'll be talking about his current kickstarter project "Making the Book of Kells", in which he aims to recreate one of the iconic pages from the Book of Kells, starting completely from scratch and using only authentic materials and methods.

Aaron Deter-Wolf is the Prehistoric Archaeologist for the Tennessee Division of Archaeology in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. Alongside this work, he is also an experimental archaeologist with a particular interest in ancient tattooing. He'll be talking about his work and experience on this subject, in particular a recent project undertaken alongside professional tattoo artists to compare the physical characteristics of tattoos using different pre-modern tools and methods.

Dr Anita Radini currently works as the archaeological science and engagement officer at the Centre for Experimental Archaeology and Material Culture (CEAMC) at University College Dublin in Ireland. Her research specialises in the micro- and macro- remains of plants, and she uses experimental archaeology "as a means to understand the past, but also as a valuable tool to bridge traditional and ancient craft skills with a more sustainable future". She'll be talking about her projects and the work currently being done at the CEAMC.

This event is FREE if you attend live. If you miss it, members of the Archaeology Podcast Network can re-watch whenever they want.
