I am an archaeologist working at the National History Museum of Latvia archaeology department since 2007, also a member of the Association of the Archaeologists of Latvia. I am also working on different projects as a self-employed field archaeologist.
Będkowice, created on the place of early medieval settlement, consisting of ancient defending settlement and barrow cemetery (8th – 9th century), about 50 hectares large.
Hillfort in Będkowice, located on top of the hill called Sokola Góra, is one of the best preserved hillforts in this area. Two rings of banks and ditches are still perfectly visible, however whole area of the hillfort is covered by forest now.
The external bank was larger, with 15 m of width, while the internal one was 7 m wide. The excavations inside the hillfort brought many interesting finds including arrow points and pottery and uncovered remains of late medieval tower build in the place of the hillfort.
Full-time archaeologist working in Malta with a masters degree in experimental archaeology that mainly focused on metallurgy, ceramics and theory. I frequently find myself reading about and trying out different traditional techniques.
The venue of the camp will be close to Lake Balaton, in Somogyfajsz, where a bloomery workshop with several furnaces from the 10th century was excavated over which a Bloomery Museum was erected. During this camp we will mine local bog iron, burn charcoal in a charcoal pile, build furnaces, smelt iron and forge the extracted iron blooms.
Currently doing a PhD at the Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University.
Our Centre is dedicated to both research in the field of archaeology and associated sciences and to conducting public awareness and community education programs on archaeology.
