Welcome to ANCIENT CRAFT

Ancientcraft is dedicated to the archaeology of primitive crafts and technologies dating from prehistory through to 5th century, or Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman. This includes references to materials such as lithics (also known as "flintknapping"), wood, leather, metals and cloth (linen and wool).

I am craftsman and reenactor who specialises in prehistoric technologies and have over 8 years experience of flintknapping. I have worked for museums, archaeologists, heritage centres, film companies, photographers and geologists in research and experimental work. My goal is to encourage people of all ages to learn about ancient crafts and have some appreciation of daily life for people in the past.

Information and articles are constantly being created and uploaded onto the website, so watch this space for new sections!
