Thanks for sharing!

Why the example of the tea towel? I’m fairly sure the shirt you’re wearing is also plain. As it’s a very common weave for shirts.

How can you tell it’s nettle or bast? Is that visible under the microscope?

It also explains why the socket heads are more pronuced then normal so that it doesn't slip when using better cordage, or cordage made from wild grasses and or bark

Honestly i look at these and the look like they can be used in the same way stone hand axes, the ones with no handle, can be used similer to holding a chisel and having a wood insert you can switch out for finer wood working using a mallet in conjunction with it using the loop to wrap cordage around the tool with the cast marks being purposely left to use to bite into the cordage

I dont think the construction would work for the detailed shapes and angles needed for shoes/hats, but maybe a rain cloak. Seems more logical that they would be a large scale, floppy, rectangular fabric made for floor coverings or curtains/screens. Much more comfy than wooden planks to walk on and also good insulation to keep warm over that cold water flowing underneath.

Wow, most Bronze Age pottery is found as degraded grotty bits of dog biscuit. These finds are truly incredible. Many Thanks!!!!!

Coarser ware made with flint and grog are more heat resistant.

Is the groove below the rim for cord ?

I think that I read its claimed that it was the Romans introduced the tall species of nettles.

Any evidence of dyeing ?

So many questions. The making and where? sharpening, trading, for what?

Any language for yourself!

lovely thankyou for sharing this 🙂 i'm amazed a bit of tape can hold these things together..

how can the pot stay like that with just a bit of tape? is there something else holding it together...? these must farm videos are so interesting thankyou..

Don't forget hemp.

8:20 Maybe it's the same process that preserved the Herculaneum scrolls: charring, and then covering with alkaline volcanic ash......

As soon a I saw the twined fibers, I thought of the mino, or straw rain capes used in rural Japan, from feudal times to the present. Some are woven, but many were twined along the top edges. There are examples of similar garments in China.

About time for an update 😂 Whats been going on with your research?

Loving all the must farm videos. Where is the best place to get up to speed with all the discoveries found so far please?

Thank you for this series of lectures! I watched them all seven. And now I'll read everything that's on the website too. The way those 'bronze age' people used plants growing in their region and processed them by hand, very interesting!

Tis indeed fascinating!

Raincoats, maybe ... like japanese 'mino'

👍🌟

A true pity that there is not more discussion on this presentation. The bobbins of thread remind me of those used by lace makers in their craft. We who do "twining" also use bobbins such as this to hold the long lengths of thread as we work, releasing a bit at a time. It is the only convenient way to hold 8 or 10M of thread in eight our ten bundles. Long before the "loom weaving", which draws so much research, there was what we call "finger weaving" which is a complex braiding technique, and needs the assistance of bobbins.

The little pot could have been a child making a pot of their own, while helping in the pottery.

Wow, whole new fabric to me 👍🌹🙏💖💫

Simply amazing

This is a truly fascinating site, thank you for your videos.

This is fascinating. A real insight into the lives of our distant ancestors!

Arre the sticks of yarn different colours? Are they associated with the shuttle?

It would be cool to see a casting demonstration

Jigsaw puzzles, but way more interesting. Patience is key in this endeavor. I hope you've had good luck.

Super interesting! Thanks for the videos, the way he’s casually holding that pot is making me nervous!

I'm thrilled that splicing was found there! I had a hunch that it wasn't just Ancient Egypt doing that, though finding examples is difficult.

is anyone doing a mock up of how these are made(what size of hand it shows) and the steps in the process to prepare and use these fibers?

Astonishing finds- and very clear presentation. Thank you!

This is very interesting and fascinating. I had no idea that this research was being undertaken so it is interesting to hear about the work being done.

So interesting. I sending it to my friends. Already looking forward to next Monday.
