Some cool bellarmine flasks, 17th/18th century and their illustrations found in John Allan’s ‘Medieval and Post Medieval Finds in Exeter’ book.

These were found in Gandy Street in 1909.

Some pictures from my trip to Stonehenge and the Ancient Technology Centre as part of one of my modules.

I definitely found my calling in weaving fences! Also Viking feasts are delicious, had a very nice vegetable stew 🥘
Stonehenge - prehistoric stone structure - standing stones Reconstructed Anglo-Saxon house with sheep around it Viking feast being cooking on a fire in the traditional way Woven fence using hazel tree branches

I thought these three little drug jars were cute!

17th/18th century, I believe second two to be tin-glazed delftware - do correct me if not
