Very interesting, although I think they may have got their spinning and weaving wrong in one place? Reconstruction archaeology is fascinating, and as was found here, the way it was done is not perhaps the way thought. I have done a little in a mild way, and found it very interesting.

The Haxley Hood looks interesting too Jamanda. One way and another, the heritage of the British Isles is very rich.
