I am a student in archaeology at the Sorbonne-université in Paris, France. I am also a flint knapper since 2018. I have always been fascinated by archaeology, ancient civilisations and artifacts. Thus, when the time had come, I decided to study archaeology at univeristy.
I started in 1997 to work at Ekehagens Forntidsby, where I got in contact with flintknapping. Worked there for 8 years as schoolinstructor, prehistory technologies as flintknapping. I worked with Uppsala, Lund and Malmö universities with different Flint/stone experiments.
