Our class had the clay lab. We started by making pinch pots using a coiling technique and just played with the clay to make whatever we wanted. In the spring, the class will pit fire the pottery and then we will find out who did and who did not get all the air bubbles out the clay.

Had a blast yesterday making Paleolithic cave art in using brushes and spitting techniques to apply charcoal, red and yellow ochre paints. Students and faculty really got into it and gained some insights through .

Burning to tell you about,

the so many ways which archaeologists can bring the past alive, this can range from outdoor learning activities, experimental archaeology, art & performances.

There is definitely something for everyone to get involved.

Have been working on the syllabus for experimental archaeology and I am getting excited for a new lab we are introducing his year. Students will experiment with different types of pigments, binders, and emulsifiers and mixing them in different ratios to make Paleolithic paints. Then they will try their hands (quite literally as they will be making hand prints) at making cave art. We will try blowing and brush techniques.

One of the things which I love ( because I'm a practical kinda person) is and have been a member of the experimental organisation for quite some time. I'm also an editor and reviewer of the journal. Here's the new EXARC Digest. It looks great! If you'd like to come to the big @EAAarchaeology conference in my hometown of Belfast, I'm chairing a session - send me those abstracts asap!

And another video - not a new one, but a really fascinating one. I cannot overstate how much I love Sally Pointer's videos.

So today, Tuesday 22nd November in the year 2022, the 'Baked Alaska Theory of Torcs' was born!

The torc equivalent of Unified Theory this could, if experiment supports it, offer a solution to a rather gnarly &, to be frank, downright messy, conundrum that's been bothering us for years!! 🤣

P.S. Silly things happen whenever my torc-partner-in-crime & I get together.

P.P.S. With experimental kit like this, what could *possibly* go wrong??? 🤣🤣🤣😳

This mosaic was laid earlier this year by students and faculty from King's College London and the London School of Mosaic, using accurate Roman techniques and materials -- and even authentic Roman tesserae!

It's the second mosaic in our reconstructed Roman villa, and a really special one: it's over our hypocaust, so we get to run all sorts of interesting experiments 👀

One thing I really enjoy is and enjoy watching people try to live in a period of the past. There's things that are difficult to learn without actually trying them. There's nuances of everyday, ancient life that only become evident when actually using tools, household items, every day, from a given time period.

From a over a year ago- but I feel like (for a first post) this is a pretty good representation of me/my content:

Doing my MSc during lockdown meant that I wrote an entire thesis on E-ware ceramics (and made replicas) without ever having seen one in-person. A month after submitting my thesis, I finally tracked some down- talk about a celebrity sighting! 😍

Recently took baby steps, (literally by making a baby hat), into learning a new-to-me craft Nålbinding.
