A reminder: many of these are simple replication experiments without strict control of materials, tools, participants and other variables. Please take these factors into account when using them as references.
1. Archaeology Southwest
https://www.archaeologysouthwest.org/category/pablog/?tag=hands-on-archaeology+how-to
Includes flintknapping; making stone axes, stone knives, adobe bricks, shell bracelets and shell bells; heat-treating stone; building pit houses; tanning hides; engraving bone; making bone awls; and more.
2. Themed Collections from the Experimental Archaeology Journal EXARC
https://exarc.net/journal/themed-collections
Also, EXARC’s article index database includes many members’ experiments and is freely accessible.
https://exarc.net/bibliography
It’s probably the world’s largest dedicated experimental archaeology article database at present. Its value is beyond doubt.
3. ICAZ Worked Bone Research Group
An incomplete collection of articles and other material on bone experiments: distinguishing chop marks from cut marks, definitions of bone-working techniques, distinguishing taphonomic and use traces, knapped tools, identifying bone-working waste, working plants/hides with bone scrapers, agricultural tools, splitting traces on bone, antler and shell working, original uniformity of prehistoric raw materials, ivory, projectile tools, butchery techniques, woodworking tools, fish swim bladders, ice skates, and more.
4. Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) Experimental Archaeology Blog
Some content on flintknapping, basket weaving and making pottery.
5. YouTube — AncientCraftUK – Dr. James Dilley
Includes archery, metallurgy, textiles and more.
6. YouTube — Bradford Kaims
Woodworking and brewing.
7. YouTube — Primitive Technology
A mixed range of content, from various shelters needed for survival outdoors to metallurgy and construction.

8. Other YouTube Collections
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAWMmiPF1T4&list=PLgrN_Mkzo_AzdXvJRyFKWr911irVfF42W&index=4
Wattle-and-daub walls, cooking with heated stones, plant-fibre textiles, bone tool making and more.
9. Bilibili Creator — Shiqi Jiangren (Stone Tool Artisan)
https://space.bilibili.com/313301390?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click
A master. Enough said.
10. Bilibili Creator — Shihe Shipian (Cores and Flakes)
https://space.bilibili.com/1091531125?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click
Mainly stone tools.
11. Bilibili Creator — Daye Ji
https://space.bilibili.com/26490463
Making various tools and buildings.
I won’t say much about techniques still used today, such as metallurgy, pottery, textiles, leatherworking and woodworking: there are plenty of videos and research materials. Search keywords for a particular technique or tool on Bilibili and YouTube to find more. Ethnoarchaeology also has many minority and Indigenous techniques to draw on.
I hadn’t paid much attention to relevant websites or databases before, so this list definitely leaves lots out. Looking forward to everyone’s additions!

中文原文
一个提醒：很多实验都属于简单复原实验，并未严格控制材料、工具、参与者等变量，在参考实验内容时请将这些因素纳入考虑。
1.西南考古（Archaeology Southwest）
https://www.archaeologysouthwest.org/category/pablog/?tag=hands-on-archaeology+how-to
包括如何打制石器、制作石斧、石刀、黏土砖、贝壳手环、贝铃，热处理石料、建造地穴式房屋，鞣皮，在骨上刻纹、制作骨锥等。
2.实验考古期刊（EXARC）分主题期刊内容集锦
https://exarc.net/journal/themed-collections
以及EXARC所建的实验考古相关文章索引数据库，有不少会员所做的实验内容，免费开放。
https://exarc.net/bibliography
应该是目前世界最大的实验考古相关文章专门数据库，含金量毋庸置疑。
3.国际动物考古学会骨器研究小组（ICAZ Worked Bone Research Group）
一些骨器实验相关的文章或内容的不完全集锦，包括砍砸痕和切割痕的区别，骨器制作技术定义，埋藏和使用痕迹区别，打制工具，辨识骨器制造废料，用骨刮削器加工植物/兽皮，农业工具，骨骼剥裂痕迹，鹿角和贝壳加工，史前所用原材料的原始一致性，象牙，抛射器，屠宰技术，木工工具，鱼鳔，冰刀等。
4.宾州印第安纳大学（IUP）实验考古博客
有一些关于打制石器，编篮子，捏陶罐的内容。
5.油管博主-AncientCraftUK – Dr. James Dilley
包括射箭、冶金、纺织等内容。
6.油管博主-Bradford Kaims
木作和酿造。
7.油管博主-Primitive Technology
内容比较杂，从野外生存所需各种洞穴到冶金和建筑都有。
B站有翻译：
8.其他油管集锦
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAWMmiPF1T4&list=PLgrN_Mkzo_AzdXvJRyFKWr911irVfF42W&index=4
木骨泥墙、石头加热烹饪、植物纤维纺织、骨器制作等。
9.B站UP主-石器匠人
https://space.bilibili.com/313301390?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click
大佬，无需多言。
10. B站UP主-石核石片
https://space.bilibili.com/1091531125?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click
石器为主
11. B站UP主-打野记
https://space.bilibili.com/26490463
各种工具制作和建筑
像冶金、陶器、纺织、皮革、木工等现代还在使用的技术就不多说了，视频和研究材料都很多。如果搜某个技术或者工具的关键词，在B站和油管还能找到更多相关的视频。民族考古学中中也有很多少数民族技术、原住民技术可作参考。
我之前没有特别注意过相关的网站或者数据库，这里的整理肯定是挂一漏万，期待大家的补充！
