UCD GRADUATE

I am a student at St. Mark's School in Southborough, Massachusetts. From the age of eight, I lived in Hancock, Massachusetts in the Berkshire Hills where I developed an early interest in archery. This led to an interest in the technologies of early humans.

Interested in the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic mostly in the Hunters-gatherers, I reconstruct prehistoric bows according to archaeological data (complete with arrows, arrow points, feathering and natural bowstring).

I am a PhD student of Eurasian research department, South Ural State University (Chelyabinsk, Russia), Director of experimental archaeology centre “Archaeos” (Chelyabinsk, Russia) and Member of the Archaeological Foundation Board “Arkaim” (Russia).

I teach experimental archaeology in the Anthropology department at Humboldt State University, California. The labs and classes provide student insight into past technologies, helping them recognize the tools and evidence in the field.
