Sally Pointer is an experimental archaeologist, heritage educator, and author who specializes in bringing ancient craft skills to life. 

With a background in archaeology and a deep passion for traditional technologies, she focuses on everything from prehistoric textile production and plant-based cordage to historical cosmetics and soap-making.

She is well-known for her "hands-on" approach, often using foraged materials to recreate artifacts and techniques used by our ancestors.

Beyond her research, Sally is a dedicated teacher who shares her knowledge through workshops, museum demonstrations, and her popular YouTube channel. 

Her work bridges the gap between archaeological theory and practical application, making complex heritage skills accessible and fun for modern learners.

Whether she’s processing tree bast or demonstrating Bronze Age spinning, Sally’s goal is to inspire people to connect with history through the act of making.
