Under Starters Orders: An introduction to the experiment

Horses and equitation are often associated with Ireland; coins of the pre-Euro modern period displayed Irish hunters, and florid Victorian art imagined the heroes of the Táin (the early medieval Irish saga of gods, bulls and heroes) in chariots drawn by fiery steeds. That image has persisted despite archaeological evidence, or lack thereof. There is a considerable lack of understanding of the prehistoric use of the horse, and even the types of animals present.

A warm welcome to the crafts week! During this week, Vitlycke Museum's Bronze Age farm becomes a handicraft farm, an open space for all our visitors to roam around in and learn, ask questions or just feel the atmosphere. It will be cast, woven, sewn and burned.

I am an archaeologist working at Fondazione Museo Civico di Rovereto. My research activity focuses on the Bronze Age in Trentino, whereas my initiatives of science outreach, teaching, and practicals focus primarily on educating the general public to the prehistoric era.
