HELLO, I'M LEWIS

I am an experimental archaeology professional specializing in mesolithic culture, replica items and Wild foods. My five years of teaching experience has focused on ethno-ecology in prehistory, from contemporary to archaeological items, as well as collaborative museology for which I am keen to be more involved with. 

I am a detail-oriented, highly organized, and motivated person, and I'm always looking for challenging projects and opportunities to expand my skillset. I have particular experience in consultations and assessment of mesolithic lifeways, living history for public engagement and research requirements. I spend a lot of time researching newly published finds and papers in an effort to keep as up to date as possible with the newest discoveries.  I also practice a wide range of “primitive” skills, including flint knapping, friction fire, tanning, hand sewing, fiber arts, foraging, atlatl & archery, and much more.  My current combination of skill sets has taken me more than 10 years to acquire.  Even so, I tell students I am likely at the level of a 5-year-old in the Mesolithic. At present  my achievements are attributed to self teaching and self accreditation however I am seeking an opportunity for entrance into academia.
