- Join Mark Knight and Dr. James Dilley as they introduce us to the Must Farm Pile Dwelling Settlement and take a closer look at some of the artefacts that were found, dating back to the end of the Bronze Age (1000-800 BC)!
In this episode they take a closer look at another familar woodworking tool that has not changed much in 5000 years!
The number and variety of gouge types found at Must Farm suggests they were used for different types or stages of woodworking from creating joints to finishing bowls. This is supported by gouge marks still visible on wood found around the site.

Thanks for this latest episode! Each installment brings the Must Farm settlement a little more into focus...can't wait to learn more!
the use of carved wood ware is so interesting, I wonder how their value would have compared to pottery of the time.

I find it stunning that today you can watch a man being interviewed by Joe Rogan swearing blindly that ancient Egyptians had advanced alien technology because “no way could they work wood, stone or metal with such precision”. Yet even a quick glance at the tools used during the bronze or stone age are instantly familiar to any wood worker or modern handy man :/
Depressing isn’t it!
