Experimental Archaeology, what is it ?
It is a scientific research method using experimentation to further our interpretation of the archaeological data through practical investigation. It offers as many possibilities as there are questions !

J. Coles.

About
Nathan, 28 years old, Experimental Archaeology MSc degree holder.
Driven by my curiosity for past civilisations and my fondness for craftsmanship, it is very naturally that I oriented my career towards this discipline.
For my Masters of Science in Experimental Archaeology and Material Culture at University College Dublin, I have conducted research on the wood and leather shield found preserved in a bog in Clonoura, County Tipperary, Ireland.
