I am an archaeobotanist specialised in the anatomical identification of archaeological wood from Palaeolithic (Europe) and prehispanic archaeological contexts (Canary Islands).
Follow in the footsteps of the first inhabitants of our country. Trijntje from the Mesolithic probably walked barefoot. Those who are used to it will not feel every little stone prick. And besides, she and her family usually traveled by canoe.
Hi! My name is Stephanie Vesseur, working in living history since 1999. Sustainability, prehistoric plants and experimental archeology are my main interests. I do love to work with wool, hides, and fibres.
A wild seed propagator and gardener (such as myself) relies on years of close human-plant interaction. The adaptability of domesticated and many wild plants to human economy and behaviour has always thrilled me. When I first read archaeological reports of frequent and large amounts of prehistoric charred seeds that were dumped in the ground I was bemused. It contrasted starkly with the care and sensitivity I use in the processes of seed harvest, drying and selection. So I started reading more and also charring seeds myself.
