I started doing indoor climate experiments in a reconstructed Viking Age house (Hedeby / Haithabu) in February 2009 (four weeks), and did another longer one from October – November 2011 (five weeks) and February – April 2012 (ten weeks).

I have worked with EXARC since 2010 and currently manage the EXARC Experimental Archaeology Collection. I have a PhD in archaeology from the University of Exeter and was a CLIR/DLF Fellow in Data Curation for the Sciences and Social Sciences at Arizona State University from 2013 to 2015.

My interest is the craft and technology of making malt and beer brewing over the ages. Wine is fermented from grapes. Mead is fermented from honey. Both grapes and honey contain natural sugars.
