Tosi kiinnostava tutkimus! Huomiona noista metodeista, että lajimäärityksen kannalta keskeinen oli proteiiniamalyysi, jota on nyt ruvettu käyttämään nahan tunnistamisessa enemmänkin. Lisäksi kansisidoksia oli tutkittu ihan visuaalisesti nahan pintakuviointia ja karboja katsomalla. Ei siis vain DNA!

Lehti on suomeksi.

Näyttääpä hyvältä!

Now travelling home and listening to #manserock: Juice Leskinen, Popeda and Eppu Normaali all road long.

At #pelimuseo the Odysseus exhibition was small yet captivating, showcasing the incredible amount of volunteer work hours spent at producing the biggest scifi larp in Finnish gaming history.

Today I found especially inspiring Sam Bennett’s talk on teaching teenagers from New York how to mend clothes - and how this kind of slow craft practise was both difficult and important to young people living in a fast moving world.

One of the highlights of the conference was Timo Rissanen’s talk on Australian leather title sashes, as it illustrated perfectly how certain aspects of our culture are not researched or recorded, if they are used in subcultures that are considered marginal.

Mä katoin tota samaa kirjaa kirjastossa taannoin, kun mietin, että nyt vielä 9-vuotiaan kohdalla tuntuu kaukaiselta, mutten halua olla aivan kuutamolla sit kun ei enää tunnukaan. Huvältä vaikutti.

If you wish to see the Kirkkailanmäki ancient costume reconstruction, it is housed at Lahti Historical Museum, Finland.

Fortunately, we got help from Estonian craft specialist Jaana Ratas, who has lots of experience working with spirals and horsehair. Jaana gave tips on how the stiff material could be treated to be able to use it, and ended up doing the actual ornaments for the costume reconstruction.

The spiral ornaments in this early 13th grave were interesting to study, as they had no exact parallels found in Finland. Moreover, they were threaded in with horsehair, a material we were not familiar to work with. After studying the patterns, we learned that we need help with the reconstruction.

I also have to add that I truly appreciate the fact that we have these communal #weaving stations, and the possibility to attend #craft courses at #helsingintyöväenopisto ❤️

Most difficult thing here was to weave loosely enough, as the fabric will be felted. The original, found from early 13th c. female grave from Ravattula Ristimäki near Turku, is one of the earliest finds of fabric socks in Northern Europe. It was dyed red with madder (Rubia tinctoria).
