Textile

I have a degree in Natural Sciences and I am currently finishing my MSc in Natural System Sciences at the University of Turin.
My researches focus on the microscopic and biomolecular analyses of ancient dental calculus.

In 2010, I gained a doctorate in archaeozoology by studying medieval animal bone from Emden in Germany. However, I had been a keen embroiderer for as long as I can remember.

I became interested in EXARC activities during my MA with the University of Bradford, where I started looking more into the textile and cremation industries, particularly the role that smell performs within settlement archaeology.

My name is Ronja Lau, I studied prehistoric archaeology at the Freie Universität Berlin and since my Bachelor degree I'm dealing with textile archaeology and experiments concerning textile research.

I’m an Archaeologist, living in Austria, studies in Late Roman, Longobards, settlements, clothing. Focusing on ancient technology, with a good base experience in wood and in textile craftsmanship. In 2015, I started experimental Archaeology in textile technology, spinning, carding,

I am in my final year of my PhD project (2017-2020) which is looking at textile production in Iron Age Britain. I am concerned with querying the functional attributes of textile tools as an assemblage and characterizing the circumstances of their discard.

I started doing re-enactment in 2005, quickly getting involved in keeping other reenactors feed.
