A Big Success in Experimental Archaeology

[Tengu]

Need an example for my work.

`Not` Mr Heyerdahl as my tutor doesnt like him.

(He wasnt fully right anyhow)

Thats a good one.

I have one from Easter island, walking the Moai...but I fear that is Mr Heyerdahls turf.

I came to the conclusion that Easter islanders owned a lot of fridge freezers and tallboys...

This is a good bit closer to you.

Butser is a great example but if you want wet but not Heyerdahl then look at Tim Severin's projects, Jason, Brendan, Sinbad and the rest. The nice thing about using Severin's work is that there are also critiques of his findings and methods so a rounded picture of his work is available.

How could I forget him?

(Anything that gives another Reference is good.)

I was going to mention Tim Serverin as well.

You could contact the Ancient Technology Centre at Cranbourne or Butser ancient farm.

I am assuming you don't have to be a best selling author to be a success.
