My PhD research focused upon a small collection of British stone tools dating to around 40,000 years ago, and for the past two years I have been fortunate enough to teach students on early prehistory modules at the University of Chester and the University of Manchester. These experiences have allowed me to learn a lot about both stone tool technology and teaching undergraduate archaeology. However, it was the completion of a reflective Higher Education Association (HEA) portfolio in 2017 that allowed me to recognise the value of experiential learning. I believe this to be especially important for an engagement with early prehistory. This is because sometimes all we have been left with are the stone tools themselves. This workshop brings together all of the above factors to provide a practical three hour introduction to what I believe is a fascinating subject.
Feedback: HEA reflective portfolio
