The Experimental Archaeology Laboratory (University of Exeter)

The Experimental Archaeology Laboratory at the University of Exeter is a research facility where scientists study ancient technologies and practices by reproducing them. By creating tools, pottery, or structures similar to those used in the past, researchers gain insights into how historical peoples lived, worked, and interacted with their environment. This hands-on approach helps validate archaeological theories and deepens understanding of past cultures, bridging the gap between ancient artifacts and human history through practical experimentation.
