To clarify, I refered to "experiential" archaeology - that is learning
things about the past by doing
them. "Experimental" archeology is, as you say, something somewhat
different.
Looking back, I see that you are entirely correct. I misread your message.
I apologize.
Thank you Sharon, basically what I was trying to say.

The impression I had gotten from the email was that there were non-costumed
individuals participating in SCA event not passers by. Apologies for the

What makes it archaeology, as opposed to just learning a task or craft,

Furthermore, I would think you'd have to be discovering something new
(to modern eyes). For example, when the 20th person makes an 1850
chemise using original instructions and methods, and it's pretty much
the same process for them as for the first 19 people, is it really
experimental any more

Well, at a re-enactment weekend at Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site
(SE Colorado) last month,
the re-enactors that I spoke to indicated that most of their fellows had
dabbled in the SCA, but
since left for more authentic pastures. It seems likely that the SCA has,
Perhaps, but if I were to describe a person involved in reenactment, I'd
say that (a) they did it pretty regularly and (b) not as part of a
theatrical performance.

I think it is difficult to determine what is "Re-enactment" and what
is merely dressing up for an event or occasion.

There's always been a significant overlap between science
fiction/fantasy readers, and reenactors. There are also a fair number
of ex-hippies in the older reenactor generation.
I think "dressing up" is a very significant factor here. In much of the

A Masque was not quite the same as a fancy-dress ball in that it specifically
entailed a theatrical presentation, with both professional actors and
high-ranking personages portraying characters, though of course it was not open
to the general public.
