Our Experimental Archaeologist Therese Kearns explains a recent experiment conducted as part of the Accidental and Experimental Archaeometallurgy conference at the Ancient Technology Centre in Dorset.

Over the Easter holidays we welcomed staff and students from UCL and Archaeology South East to Butser for a mini ‘archaeotech’ - a chance for the students to get hands on with some experimental archaeology.

In the process they built a wonderful Roman kiln at the farm. Below Bill Sillar, Professor of Archaeology and Technology in Society at UCL Institute of Archaeology shares the process behind this latest construction.
