Crafts, how-to articles, thoughts, and general stuff:
Here are links to pages and blog postings -- all but one of which is my own -- with
somewhat random information that pertain to this living history pursuit, to
"Experiential/Experimental Archaeology" or that someone has asked me about
enough to make me think it has broader interest. Some pages are
instructions, some expansion on other people's instructions. If I owe you
credit for the inspiration, please
email me and I'll gladly give you proper credit. So that I can
write when the mood strikes, I started
posting via a Blogspot
blog, so don't be surprised if you're taken to a page that's off this site. Just close the window
it opens to return.
For the latest postings, you may also check the blog here:
