I’m Jen. I’m a student of History, Heritage and Archaeology.
I am an anthropologist, specialized in archaeological sciences and ancient technology, with a doctorate dissertation on physical and chemical analyses carried out on prehistoric pottery from Sicily.
Padua University, at the Dept. of Cultural Heritage: Archaeology, History of Art, of Music and Cinema is one of the few Italian universities to have an official Laboratory of Experimental Archaeology and this last matter as a study course.
It is called L.A.S.eR.T. (Laboratory of Experimental Archaeology and Research on Ancient Technology), and at present is directed by Massimo Vidale and Ivana Angelini. We have wide a semi-open, covered space with three different potter's wheels, a good set of all the necessary tools, a wide collections of waste material from copper melting, glass making, flint knapping material used in our classes to help students to understand which kind of residues they should expect, when dealing with an ancient workshop, and "alphabetize" our students in a basic dimension of materiality.
Gabriela Sartori Mingatos (São Paulo – Brazil – 1986), studied History at Nove de Julho University and Social Sciences at Federal University of São Paulo. She obtained her Master’s Degree at the National Museum.
Dr. Liye Xie studies the co-construction of technology and society with specialties in preindustrial technologies of bone, stone, and earthen construction.
Paläotechnik offers ancient technology expertise since 1996. The main focus is on indigenous and prehistoric skin processing technology, including related fields like bone, antler and ivory technology.
My interest in archaeology has developed as I grew up in Indonesia, a country rich with archaeological sites. Although I do not have any archaeology degree, my passion has led me to join the EXARC Team.
My current research project involves the use of archaeometry and experimental archaeology in order to better understand Neolithic and Chalcolithic pottery technology in central and Northern Italy. In my spare time I also enjoy flint knapping (badly!)
