Weapons

I am a Dutch national but live in Italy since 1983 and since 1994 in Rome. I have always been attracted to history and archaeology in general but concentrate on Roman history.

I am an academic archaeologist teaching at Grinnell College in Iowa, USA. I work with analysis and replication of prehistoric technologies, especially stone tools and atlatls, and early agricultural technology.

I am a Heritage Consultant, working with a number of institutions in Ireland including the Irish National Heritage Park in Wexford, where we are rebuilding all our sites at present, covering 9000 years of Ireland's past.
