So, time for something completely different and much more wholesome. A superb story of - can an untrained archaeologist with no woodworking experience build a dog sled?

Two sexy little Welsh combs from Llangorse and near Caerphilly; pegged together with antler pegs at 3 and 4mm diameter. Really interesting bit of experimental archaeology for today!

Been working on a method of securing combs together using antler pegs, found in Scotland, Wales, and Ireland during the early medieval period. I have a whole sequence of comb videos on TikTok but I'm sharing this one wider as it intrigued me as a piece of experimental archaeology.

Decorating the backs of these early medieval combs; my wrists are killing me! You'll have to excuse the state of my fingers; crafts people often have gnarly looking hands!

@fionamitchell awe thank you. I did get a bit lost a first too. Didn't post the knotted tangle 1st attempt and the 2nd weird flower like thingie. Trying a new one now, tensioning on my Nål to get a tighter look. Very much learning and enjoying it. FB and YouTube been essential help. Got some lime bast and going to try simple looping basketry eventually too.

Making sure I still know my z-twist from my s-twist for the Arizona State University archaeology demonstration table at the Homecoming block party tomorrow. Come see us from 9-12 and make some cordage of your own. All yucca harvested from ASU landscaping ;)

Recently took baby steps, (literally by making a baby hat), into learning a new-to-me ancient textile craft of Nålbinding

Thinking back to an awesome weekend earlier this year, doing some with casting and bead making, and talking to the public about the early medieval in NW England!

I'm Heather. An academic librarian with an interest experimental archaeology, particularly around textiles, and writing. I enjoy spinning fibre and knitting. One day I plan to build myself a warp-weighted loom. I also enjoy crafting for miniature things and playing video/computer games.
