Experimental Arch Design

A
  • consider all the possible ways in which something can be done/made/used
  • used materials that are the same as/similar to those found archaeologically
  • record what it is that you do in the experiment
  • examine the materials after the experiment
  • compare the materials to archaeological ones
  • recognize that even if you have a ‘match’ – there may be other matches that you did not recreate
