I have studied Prehistory at Leiden University and got my master's degree there. After a few years of excavating I turned my attention to archaeology & education.

I have always been crafty and have a love of history. So Experimental Archaeology was the perfect match for me. I started my activities back in 2001 with flintknapping and finger-woven bags.

Southwestern archaeologist (North America) now living and working on the Great Plains with an interest in ancient technologies, especially lithics and perishables.

I have been involved in reproduction of ancient textiles since childhood. I learned to spin on my great-grandmother's spinning wheel over 40 years ago, and have always been fascinated by pre-industrial textiles.

I am teaching Textile & Costume history at Academies in Amsterdam. I am working since 1994 in reconstructing artifacts, clothing and ancient textile technics with special interest in the Mesolithic period.

I am interested mainly in taphonomic and lithic experiments. I teach courses on experimental archaeology (MA-option), and on organic materials (3rd year option undergraduate), which involves replicating techniques at the Institute of Archaeology London.
