Our apprentices
In a trade where knowledge and skills are only learned through experience, the contribution of apprentices is valuable to overcome the challenges of such a boundless exploration as experimental archaeology. These outstanding collaborators assist in the process of artifact reproduction and archaeology education while learning the crafts and their traditions. Most of all, they bring passion and energy to a mission that requires no less.
