Making Must Farm: Bobbins in the Bronze Age

- Out of the many stunningly preserved objects from the late Bronze Age settlement at Must Farm are the tools and equipment used for making textiles. Clothing from prehistory is very rarely preserved meaning we have limited evidence to explore the quality of fabric made and worn by people thousands of years ago? Did they where coarse sack-like cloth or much finer materials we would be happy to wear today?
Bobbins hold the threads created from spinning fibres, so are excellent indicators of how fine people made threads and clothing. Senior Project Officer Mark Knight discusses how the bobbins and textile production fits into the world of Must Farm. Members of the Northants Spinners, Weavers and Dyers Guild demonstrate how these objects may have been made while Dr. James Dilley provides narration.

Bronze Age parents to children: “Your aunt and uncle are going to take care of you this week, because we’re going to Must Farm to buy some nettle fabric for your mother and grab a new axe head for me. Be good and feed the animals while we’re gone.”😎
Wow 0.4mm? I say wow but I honestly think we vastly underestimate the sophistication of humans in the past simply because so little survives. I fully believe this ability was commonplace. I bet their fishing line was simply beautiful. I managed to make nettle cord and a hook from hawthorn and catch brown trout on the Nidd many years ago but it was a crude affair compared to finely spun thread like that James
Are there deeper videos going into how to make such thread James? Like in this video?
Thanks!
Thanks. I appreciate these updates.
Dr. James Dilley slaps hard.
Thank you for this great channel!
Sounds like the complex was a factory perhaps they were trading as well? Or maybe just really industrious domestic production? Either way, marvelous finds.
Great!
