Hi everyone, I'm running an archaeology experiment next week for our funded project Life at the Cutting Edge, and am looking for volunteers in the Southampton area to come in for 90 minutes. It will involve using stone tools and taking a dexterity test and some hand measurements, and being...

A field school for learning Stone Age hunter-gatherer technologies is open for registration. It is open to anyone, internationally, as long as you are physically fit. Wild Cognition runs from June 6th to 26th, the first week on campus at UCCS in Colorado Springs, the second and third are...

The Oxford Palaeotechnology Society and Wilderness Pioneers got together last year and made an experimental Stone Age shelter. Klint Janulis (member as well as host of 10,000BC) has written a series of blog posts about how the project came about, including some of the inspiration that came from...

Hi everyone, I'm running an experiment in Oxford and am looking for volunteer participants. It is a stone knapping study where participants who have never knapped before will learn how to make stone age handaxes in different (possibly unconventional!) ways. We will meet for three 2 hour...

Hi everyone, We run a society for making and discussing Palaeolithic technologies in Oxford, with a view to creating experimental studies and publishing findings in the future. Although we are affiliated with the university, we welcome non-Oxford students and non-students alike. If you want...

For me the most interesting aspect of bushcraft is learning primitive skills and connecting with ancient knowledge that, in some way, might open a window to the way people thought thousands of years (even hundreds of thousands of years!) ago. The study of ancestral minds through ancient...

Hi everyone, I'm scrabbling around looking for a kiln or furnace I could use. You'd think I'd have an easy time in Oxfordshire with all the galleries and potters about, but lots of the ceramics places I phone don't have a kiln firing service. I'm also car-less and relying on friends to...

It's been a long time coming, but I finally bought my first bushcraft knife (so I don't have to keep borrowing everyone else's!) It's a Mora 'robust', since my husband has the clipper and I thought variety might be nice (and to be honest, the borrowing won't stop!) To celebrate, I completed...

Hi everyone, My name's Cory and I'm new to the bushcrafting world. I'm a PhD student at Southampton Uni (though living in Oxford) studying Palaeolithic archaeology, hence a big interest in primitive technologies and bushcraft. I like flint knapping and have been practicing for a couple years...
