I'm an archaeologist, lithic specialist & flint knapper. I have been an avid ancient skills practitioner for a little over a decade, and whilst knapping is my main focus, I produce a wide range of replicas, primarily focused on the pre-agricultural archaeology of northern Europe.
I am always keen to facilitate engagement & interest in both experimental archaeology and a hands-on approach to archaeological materials & technologies. I deliver ancient skills workshops, demonstrations & talks, and provide skills, replicas & materials to a range of experimental projects.
My current interests include strategies for working osseous materials with limited lithic resources (inspired by work at the Mesolithic site of Rubha Port an t-Seilich, Islay), the late Upper Palaeolithic/early Mesolithic transition & the production and use of composite tool with bladelet/microlith inserts.
