Multi period living history at Cholesbury common today. Come down to get hands on from the Mesolithic through to The medieval!

This was a joy to do many years back and still on show at Dorset Museum

We just made an exciting discovery at Lendbreen — a leather or hide object lying on the bedrock near the pass area! It appears to have at least two different types of seams. When we turned it over, it looks like it could be a shoe, but we’ll need to open it up to be sure (1/2)

The finds just keep pouring in! We’ve just discovered a medieval horseshoe on the south side of the Lendbreen pass, not far from where we found the horse bit last year. The shape suggests it dates back to the 12th or 13th century.

Newsweek has just published a piece on our first arrow find at Lendbreen🙂 newsweek.com/archaeology-no…

What a great start to our survey at the new site today: An Iron Age arrow shaft just lying there on the glacial ice! It is around 1500 years old. This is a reindeer hunting site where we have done fieldwork before. Finds from this site so far date from Bronze Age to Medieval.

Puku is providing quality control of my hand spun yarn before it is washed and passed to mum for the throw she is crocheting for my cottage. Working towards unique functional beautiful items in keeping with a 400 year old building.

THIS WINS THE DAY!!!!

We have a list of every Anglo-Saxon whose name we know: it's an astonishing achievement & research tool. It took 10 years & is now available again: pase.ac.uk Reeves, moneyers, pilgrims; anchorites, assassins, archpriests; sisters, sons & seventeenth-grandfathers...

Her coming was foretold

Puku has decided that the bed will not be made today, but she will come down later to inspect the new resources I’m adding to the revamped Stone Age to Iron Age workshop. #cat #CatsOfTwitter #learn
