So, time for something completely different and much more wholesome. A superb story of #ExperimentalArchaeology - can an untrained archaeologist with no woodworking experience build a #Greenland dog sled?

Two sexy little Welsh combs from Llangorse and near Caerphilly; pegged together with antler pegs at 3 and 4mm diameter. Really interesting bit of experimental archaeology for today! #Archaeology #ExperimentalArchaeology #craftspeople #Crafts

Been working on a method of securing combs together using antler pegs, found in Scotland, Wales, and Ireland during the early medieval period. I have a whole sequence of comb videos on TikTok but I'm sharing this one wider as it intrigued me as a piece of experimental archaeology. #ExperimentalArchaeology #Archaeology #Archaeodon #livibghistory #reenactment #welshhistory #Cymru

Decorating the backs of these early medieval combs; my wrists are killing me! You'll have to excuse the state of my fingers; crafts people often have gnarly looking hands! #EarlyMedieval #viking #vikings #VikingAge #combs #VikingComb #bonework #RedDeer #antler #ExperimentalArchaeology

@fionamitchell awe thank you. I did get a bit lost a first too. Didn't post the knotted tangle 1st attempt and the 2nd weird flower like thingie. Trying a new one now, tensioning on my Nål to get a tighter look. Very much learning and enjoying it. FB and YouTube been essential help. Got some lime bast and going to try simple looping basketry eventually too. #Nålbinding #archaeology #experimentalarchaeology

Making sure I still know my z-twist from my s-twist for the Arizona State University archaeology demonstration table at the Homecoming block party tomorrow. Come see us from 9-12 and make some cordage of your own. All yucca harvested from ASU landscaping ;) #archaeology #asu #ExperimentalArchaeology

#introduction (following move from mastadon.scot) Hi folks Calling all Ancient elephants and hedging-their-bets Birdy Archaeologists. I am one of the herd now too. Archaeologist, running YACs, Castle bothering nowadays but my heart is still Neolithic and Underwater. Ancient textiles, fibre production, organics, lipid analysis. Here with a sense of humour and a bit of hope #archaeology #archaeodons #ancienttextiles #neolithic #Prehistory #Nålbinding #underwaterarchaeology #experimentalarchaeology

Thinking back to an awesome #livinghistory weekend earlier this year, doing some #experimentalarchaeology with casting and bead making, and talking to the public about the early medieval in NW England! #archaeology

I'm Heather. An academic librarian with an interest experimental archaeology, particularly around textiles, and writing. I enjoy spinning fibre and knitting. One day I plan to build myself a warp-weighted loom. I also enjoy crafting for miniature things and playing video/computer games.
