From an early age I was fortunate enough to have an excellent introduction to history and archaeology. I was bitten by a bug that would grow for many years before directing me to flintknapping. This interest was fuelled almost twenty years ago by an introduction to archaeology; starting with evening courses for GCSE and A-level, followed by membership to several archaeological associations. After some time collecting flint tools in the field I began producing replicas of my own for museums. This was the beginning of an eight year adventure that would not only lead me into flintknapping professionally, but also to return to education. After obtaining a degree in archaeology at the University of Wales College Newport, I was lucky enough to be accepted as a research student working on an archaeological PhD; also with the University of Wales. I'm now a full time primitive technologist.
