This video was created as part of a community heritage project for Seven Lochs Wetlands Park:
'Shaped by water, shaped by people...
As you explore the Seven Lochs you follow in the footsteps of hunter-gatherers, crannog-dwellers, medieval bishops and Victorian industrialists. It’s a landscape that’s been shaped by water but also by people. Although much of our heritage lies hidden, a rich flow of stories carries on through those of us living here today.'
Lindsay Farquharson Testimonial | Heritage Development Officer |Seven Lochs Wetlands Park:
"We were very fortunate to work with James and Emma on this project (Seven Lochs: A History Shaped by Water). They were approachable, professional and worked closely with us to ensure that the film created was site specific, engaging and of very high production quality. We are very happy with the film." - .www.historyshapedbywater.org

Please do more in period costume - it's great watching you work dressed like that and feeling like I'm actually looking back into the ancient past

I love this stuff - it's so intriguing to imagine living in the mesolithic with videos such as this. Thanks for producing it - more please.

First, I must say that video is great! Thank you for making it! Secondly - 1:34 that scene looks amazing with clouds reflecting in water. Thirdly: I really hope that one day we'll see "how to make" videos about prehistoric clothes, cap, boat, tent, and all other things we see in these videos!

Excellent video as usual. Hehe, I was making a fish trap while watching the video - so it was a lot of fun to see one turning up in this video. Keep up the great work.

A real treat! Not nearly enough mesolithic reenactors! Just read about the flint more efficient flint core knapping technique whilst reading The Earth Children Series, so good to see it in action!

@legioxfretensis3363 2 года назад

Brilliant presentation! Is there a generally established mesolithic recipe for pitch making?

@ancientcraftUK 2 года назад

Not so much a recipe, but they generally used birch tar

@archygirl1750 Год назад

This was absolutely fascinating. Thank you for putting together such a well-done video. I'm an American archaeologist with DNA from England, Scotland, Wale, Ireland, and Scandinavia, and I can't get enough of this type of content.

🎩Hi. You make fire lighting seem so easy, but it’s not is it. I have one of your fire starting kits. (Oh it’s great by the way ) no wonder that when you had a fire, you did not let it go out, but carried it with you. As such as using certain dried mushrooms to keep an ember going.

@ancientcraftUK 2 года назад

It take practice and really good tinder! And you’re right, carrying fire is much easier

I did some field walking a few times at a site that had already been excavated and found dozens of microliths , Broken blades, some discarded cores and a few other bits and pieces. I even found what looks like on a breeding stone that had grooves cut into the sandy texture of the stone. It was amazing to find that many things in one place. The archaeology survey had literally uncovered thousands of artifacts on the site that indicated it had been used for a long time. It was mostly meso lithic, with a few Neolithic pieces and some evidence of Bronze Age activity

@froggystyle642 2 года назад

I live very close to Hogganfield, one of those seven lochs. Would be amazing to have events showing this kind of thing going on there

Have they ever found preserved canoes or fish traps like that?

@ancientcraftUK 2 года назад

Lots! Check out Tybrind Vig (Denmark), it’s just one of many late Mesolithic sites with a huge amount of organic remains

@oldgreybeard2507 2 года назад

Very difficult to hit a bird in flight even just launched into flight with a rifle let alone a much slower arrow. Thus the shotgun. I take my camo hat off to them.

I have heard that, judging from their skeletal remains, the health of Mesolithic people in Britain was excellent, probably due to their well balanced diets and active lifestyle. I believe the standard of health declined with the introduction of agriculture in the Neolithic period and remained less than optimal until very recently. I would love to hear Dr Dilley talk about this.

@janetmackinnon3411 2 года назад

So ,interesting.

@somethingelse4424 2 года назад

I can't believe how smart these people must have been. Just imagining having to make everything I use out of what is around me sounds both idyllic and daunting. I think these people might have had stronger problem solving skills than many modern individuals. Looking at the items shown at the simulated camp site, I'm not sure how often even very intelligent modern people would exert that amount of cognitive effort on a daily basis. I admit I feel a little inferior based on what I've seen... Maybe I'm projecting though.

@joecole6875 Год назад

How big were the groups who made these campsites?

@rodrigoboixo2642 2 года назад

how was the canoe made?

@kublaicarl4818 2 года назад

Being archers I'd like to think they used the fire bow.

I'd bet the flint working spot was far away from the cooking/family spot. Flint working leaves sharp pieces on the ground. Have little Junior cut his foot on a piece and Mom would banish the men to the edge of the village to work flint.
