Experimental archaeology provides a method of research into material culture, in which the work of artisans of the past can be studied in terms of their abilities and their development through practical experience. We believe that this interdisciplinary approach, including experimental and ethnographic data, will be rewarding for all those working on the technological aspects of archaeology. One point will be highlighted, with the example of archaeometallurgy and the use of the senses. This paper explores experimental archaeology's potential as a powerful research method, an effective educational tool and an excellent medium for public outreach.
