Lovely to have @ancientcraftuk.bsky.social & @emlouwynjones.bsky.social sharing their skills with visitors at Museum of Liverpool this weekend! #BronzeAge #LivingHistory #ExperimentalArchaeology www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/whatson/muse...

Finishing and polishing these miniature bronze axehead pendants on a cold winters day. Thank goodness @ancientcraftuk.bsky.social has the furnace going to cast some (much larger) MBA basal looped spears! 😍

A collection of 8 miniature bronze axehead pendants at different stages of finish and polish.

Why wear one Bronze Age axe when you could wear three? This shiny silver combination is off to its new owner 😍

It's been brilliant watching these projects develop over the last three years and a real pleasure to capture the journey for them on camera! The film is now online so do go and have a look and be prepared to be inspired by the amazing team at Stanwick Lakes!

How did people make arrowheads in the Stone Age? A flake of stone would be trimmed, then have hundreds of tiny flakes detached using an antler point. The knapper would put pressure on the flaker tool from their abdomen while the flake was braced again a leg. 🎥 @emlouwynjones.bsky.social

Well, it’s finally happened, one for the bucket list. This week I found a flint handaxe at Happisburgh while walking with friends. Their shared concern was due to my delighted dancing looking like I was having a funny turn!

A miniature Neolithic axehead in slow motion! With Christmas on the way, I've been working on a batch of mini prehistoric stone pendants. This one's a particularly attractive piece of Langdale Tuff, the same material prehistoric people used to fell trees over 5,000 years ago!

Our replica Bronze Age Basal looped spears are back in stock! 3300-3125 years ago, these spears would have been the primary weapon of a warrior while swords were still developing. They were effective for slashing & thrusting. www.ancientcraft.co.uk/product-page... 🎥 @emmalouwynjones.bsky.social

My replica of the Iron Age armlet fragment from Dunadd is off to @kilmartinmuseum. A great opportunity to work with one of the cannel coal samples I collected from the Fife coastline earlier in the year. I think it's safe to say this Scottish 'jet' lookalike stood up to the test!

Not all arrowheads are pointy! During the middle Neolithic (approx.3400-2600BC), people made arrowheads with a wide blade, facing forwards from the archer. Transverse arrowheads are thought to have been used for hunting birds and we think they make a great pendant with a subtle prehistoric twist!

We've been building up stock for the Christmas period! I've got a limited run of hallmarked silver Barbed & Tanged arrowheads that are now available. There's just something about casting in silver that really makes these arrowheads stand out. www.ancientcraft.co.uk/product-page...

This is a photo of me last Sunday, at #NewScientistLive, with brilliant experimental archaeologist Emma Jones of AncientCraft - and I’m wearing something very special indeed… Emma’s painstaking reproduction of the 4000 year old Dunragit jet necklace! guard-archaeology.co.uk/DunragitBlog...
