Chloe Duckworth, Archaeologist, at Newcastle University, giving a talk entitled "Reconstructing ancient technology", on the Technology Stage, at New Scientist Live 2019
Chloe Duckworth is an archaeologist who doesn't spend much time digging. Instead she she spends it reconstructing ancient technologies under scientific conditions in order to understand how our ancestors made things. It is known as experimental archaeology. Join Chloe on a journey to discover what we can learn about ourselves by studying how humans have made and used things throughout time, from realising we could form tools by striking two stones together to making clothes and mastering the transformation of minerals into flowing, shining metal. Along the way, she'll demonstrate how you can become an experimental archaeologist in your own home. Chloe Duckworth lecturer in archaeological science, and an experimental archaeologist. She teaches students all about ancient technologies and the class then has a go at reconstructing them. Chloe loves to do things differently, and shares lots of findings ? and the odd random thought ? on her YouTube channel ArchaeoDuck.
