Making early medieval souterrain ware pots at our First Year Archaeology module ARCH10170: Making the Past - quality work
#EarlyMedievalPeopleAndThings
Original ironworking activities now being excavated by our MSc students at UCD Centre for Experimental Archaeology & Material Culture would have looked a little like this 🙂
Our MSc students digging our own ironsmelting and charcoal production site. Despite only dating from 5-6 years ago, the features are even now subtle - cattle trample, human activities, the passage of a plough in the past would wipe out most of this archaeology, useful learning for our students.
