Darrell Markewitz has operated the Wareham Forge since 1992, with experience as an artisan blacksmith spanning 45 years.
He is a specialist in the Viking Age, working closely with Parks Canada at L’Anse aux Meadows NHSC, as well as contributing to museum programs in Canada, the USA and the UK. A special effort for the last two decades has been research into bloomery iron smelting, expanded into experimental archaeology and academic papers. As Sylard of Eagleshaven, his involvement with the SCA extends to the mythic founding of Eoforwic, and he is founder of the Dark Ages Re-creation Company.
