Drive safely this winter with Hilltop Garage
3rd December 2016
In late July the call went out from Butser Ancient Farm for South Downs Volunteers to help recreate the frame of a 'Neolithic' house at the Farm site.
This was a rather unusual task for the band of volunteers: were we meant to dress in period garb? And use ancient techniques?
Well not entirely, for the Ancient Britons didn't have to worry about modern health & safety rules for a start.
Hence you'll see in the photos our use of scaffold towers and ladders. And we also wore jeans and shirts, not furs.
But it nevertheless proved a fascinating task to erect a number of saplings and tie them together in a traditional way - that will allow Butser Ancient Farm to set up courses in the ancient skills of wattle & daub that future groups of children and adults will be able to practice.
