Abstract

In July 2019 a group of students from the UK participating in the Placements in Environmental, Archaeological, and Traditional Skills (PEATS) Erasmus + Work Placement, attended the Kierikki Stone Age Centre, Pahkalantie, Finland. Group projects included experimental/experiential projects producing willow fish traps, pottery, and tanning, coordinated by Dr. Peter Groom of the Mesolithic Resource Group. This individual Neolithic bow building project was undertaken by Chris Woodland, archaeologist, craftsman, primitive skills, and bushcraft practitioner.
