ONLINE TALK:
Part of the events programme alongside the Introducing Must Farm, a Bronze Age settlement exhibition.
Following the publication of the final report on the Must Farm settlement (excavated in 2015-16), hear from the archaeologists and specialists involved in the excavations and post-excavation research to discover the most up-to-date research and theories about the site. The first time all these experts have been brought together in one series, these talks are not to be missed!
All talks will take place online, beginning at 7:30pm.
Speaker: Dr Susanna Harris, University of Glasgow
Thursday 10 October, 7:30pm
The textiles and yarns of Must Farm have transformed knowledge of cloth and its production in Late Bronze Age Britain around 850 BCE. In this talk we discover the different types of plant fibre fabric found in the Must Farm pile dwelling settlement. We consider the rich evidence for how the yarns and fabrics were made, and the interpretation of these processing, weaving and twining activities in the settlement's wooden structures.
Dr Susanna Harris is Senior Lecturer in Archaeology at the School of Humanities, University of Glasgow. Her research focuses on the technical, scientific and experimental analysis, and interpretation of archaeological textiles. Susanna Harris led the fibre and fabric analysis of Must Farm.
