The Mesolithic Resource Group practices and teaches
experimental archaeology and primitive skills
We use a range of skills, natural materials and field-based experiments in order to offer a greater understanding of how Prehistoric people lived.
Experimental archaeology
Through reconstruction or living history role-play, we aim to discover how our Mesolithic ancestors procured and processed materials, such as creating tar or clothing fibres.
Primitive skills
We investigate the techniques that Prehistoric people used to create tools, clothes, and other resources, and learn the bushcraft skills they would have used for navigation and tracking.
