| Summary: | Slow Tech by Peter Ginn is a guide for step-by-step experimental archaeology. It is more a manual than a text or reference book, clearly showing the chaîne opératoire for potential experiments to try at home. Each of the five chapters includes a brief introduction to the relevant topics, followed by a series of experiments with clear procedure instructions and lists of required equipment. The chapters cover fire, earth (mainly ceramics and salt), wood, stone and water. Each chapter is very ‘picture-heavy’ and has insets that show points of interest about the subject matter. |
