Construction of Buildings

I am a PhD student at University Paul Valéry - Montpellier III (France). My current research focus on spatial organization of western Mediterranean (South France and Italy) Late Neolithic / Early Bronze Age settlements from a geoarchaeological point of view (in particular soil micromorphology).

I am not a professionally trained archaeologist. I am a physicist by training. Until recently I was a research scientist at the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information technology at the University of California at San Diego.

I am a Italian prehistoric archaeologist and I approached to Experimental Archaeology since about 2012, developing a hut rebuilding project in Tornambé (Enna, Sicily). I am interested in building reconstructions, daub, traditional use of vegetal materials, theory and experimental protocols.

My (large scale) experiments investigating my concepts as to how, specifically, large stone blocks were lifted by the Old Kingdom Egyptians commenced in 2005, although I had reduced to paper such concepts several years earlier.

I started doing indoor climate experiments in a reconstructed Viking Age house (Hedeby / Haithabu) in February 2009 (four weeks), and did another longer one from October – November 2011 (five weeks) and February – April 2012 (ten weeks).

Starting activities in 1987, first flint knapping. Later on I did all kinds of things, as long as they fit into the Dutch Mesolithic-period.

Prof. Dr Haio Zimmermann is interested in the reconstruction of buildings from the Neolithic to Medieval times.

Dr Wolfgang Lobisser is a senior member of EXARC.

My name is Wulf Hein. My main field of activity is the manufacturing of professional reconstructions of all kinds of prehistoric finds, from a bone sewing needle to a one-to-one scale Neolithic house.
