Ancient & Traditional Technology (A&TT) is the research & execution of ancient, historic or traditional techniques which we are aware of from archaeology. It is the presentation of past crafts & techniques purely as behavior, and does not require costumed interpretation or an experimental goal. A&TTs should preserve their originating context of time & space. A&TT is replication or reconstruction with the intention of a tangible product. Practice and skill development in the technology are of great value and should always precede controlled experimentation. Many public demonstrations such as bronze casting, iron smelting or stone and bone processing are Ancient & Traditional Technology.

My work has been inspired by some of the most remarkable textile finds - those in the Pazyryk kurgans (burial mounds) - specifically the felt shabraks (horse blankets). The detailed, intricate designs of these items are achieved by appliquéing felt on felt (sometimes leather is used) in a manner that adds both decoration and strength (See Figure 1) and is still used among the steppe-land nomads (Barber 1991, 220).
