Pario Gallico
Приєднався 21 бер 2020
It's all about historic, ancient and primitive skills, with an archaeology background!
(For you to have a go and for you guys staying at home with little ones to have some educvational activities to do with them)
From cooking in pots over an open fire, butchering and tanning, making clothes like the Celts and the Romans, foraging, weaving, bronze and silver jewellery and even blacksmithing... it's all about the daily life and crafts of people around 1st century BC and 1st century AD in Britain and Western Europe...up to Tudor, 16th century times!
Pario Gallico is a company offering historical food and crafts demonstrations, courses and Iron Age living history (that's 2000 years ago!) based on archaeological research, traditional crafts techniques and experimental archaeology... a bit of outdoor and bushcraft knowledge too.
Caroline shares her experiences, knowledge and the skills she rediscovers and work on as she goes.

How to wash dishes (and stay alive!) in the Iron Age
I have worked many years on Iron Age and Historical food, from cooking techniques and ingredients availability to .. doing the washing up, the ancient way!
I've been taught and used these methods for the five years I spent working on a Tudor living history farm, where cooking and washing as it was done historically was part of our everyday tasks.
Absolutely ZERO problems, certainly no food poisoning, mould growth on something etc etc ... and it was hands down our visitors' favourite display of the day.
I tested, adapted, used and now added to this video a few of my own practices when I portray life on Iron Age Britain or Gaul.
Everything is based on traditional practices, sometimes mentioned, sometimes used by grandparents and passed down the generations.. but all keep in mind what was available and possible at the time in terms of plants, materials, utensils, knowledge etc.
So if you do living history displays and fancy presenting a new topic, trust me, doing the dishes is a brilliant, very engaging and educational topic!
If you just fancy a look: enjoy!
*** NOTES ***
- the material used to wash the metal dish is a plant called Field Horsetail in the UK (Equisetum Arvense, Latin name). It's a "prehistoric plant", full of silica so very gritty and great as a scrubby pad! It's plentiful in many places (definitely where I live and have lived) and NEVER. DIES. It's an incredible plant. check it out to see if you have some where you live!
- I turned the comments section off as I don't have the time to read them and answer potential questions. So to avoid never answering a query as I would miss it here, I chose to not have comments and let people email me if something is important!
- VIDEO MADE BY AND FOR "BUTSER PLUS",
an online video platform by Butser Ancient Farm that offers heaps of short films about crafts on prehistory, from building a roundhouse to a sneaky peak at their amazing yearly Beltaine Festival.
check them out on www.butserplus.com for less than a coffee, or a monthly donation if you feel like supporting this brilliant site in the UK.
- When is the Iron Age?
''Iron Age'' in Britain is usually 800BCE to 43CE, date of the Roman conquest by Claudius. In France, 800BCE-52CE (battle of Alesia and Roman conquest).
For me... well... there is a very early iron ring found in Scotland dating back to 900BCE, and I consider 52BC as the ''end'' of the Iron Age as I come from France myself!
So here: 900BCE to 100BCE is what I research mainly in terms of ''Iron Age'' life. Before much Roman contact with Britain. But eh, each to their own ;)

After many questions and chats, here are the two examples of Iron Age clothes I use myself when portraying crafts and life around 300-200BCE, both based on finds from a bog in Denmark (original in Mational Museum of Denmark): the Huldremose Woman's ensemble.

Making wattle and daub walls on a replica Iron Age roundhouse - daubing
Переглядів 1,5 тис.2 роки тому
Wattle is the woven Hazel (it could be willow or other wood) branches structure of the wall, that will disappear when finished under the layer of daub. Daub is a mix of clay, chopped straw and sand, here. It could contain animal dung or hair or other fibres, but it's not necessary. This mix doesn't contain more than these 3 ingredients. Daub is applied on both sides of the wattle wall at the sa...

People have crushes on famous actresses, I have mine on a French experimental archeologist :)
How I was taught to make butter by my Amish grandmother. She used to say that milkmaids have the softest hands. Al
Great Video, thank you. I thought the peplos was greek?
Fascinating!!!! This ancient society was so wonderfully economical and took such care because of their handmade fabrics… it’s honestly inspirational
How on earth could a woman breast feed with those tunics with no chest openings?? You’d have to get completely undressed. I’m having trouble believing this clothing would be used by a nursing mother, which to be honest would be all the time for all married girls
This worked so well! Thank you for the tutorial!
Waste SALT on this?! Sand surely! How did ppl have $ for salt to waste, not eat
I like this way of dressing! It's like wearing blankets on you, cozy!
Thankyou ladies and team for a joyful and informative video. I learnt alot and hope to take something from it to use practically.
Brilliant! Perhaps for an Iron Age belt- try making one with a Lucet (2 prongs) - using french knitting technique which is the same as a simple loom band (though not with elastic bands obvs) just made out of wool. I saw this in a museum when the loom band craze was happening back in 2015/16. The museum said it was an Iron Age/viking age technique for belts and bag straps. Hope this helps and thank you for an excellent video! :)
I appreciate all this video. What's distracting is some people complaining about the music. Thank you for the video again. ❤ God bless you.
Can I make butter with the heavy cream from the grocery store?
Yes, most of the people these days don't have access to fresh milk; I use double cream (heavy cream in US), works fine
What is the common types of food eaten, and how common was alcoholic drinks imbibed and what kinds, if you don't mind me asking?
this has me wondering could i clean my floors like this
Wow,I can't believe people in Suffolk in 75 BC were wearing such bling😅Seriously though,those torque necklaces were wonderful!
Je viens de découvrir votre chaîne! J’aime beaucoup ces simples recettes! J’espère que vous pourrez en publier d’autres. Merci!
The pins on her shoulders , that keeps her clothing together, are beautiful. I always use , what called, Scottish pins..
This is exactly how I was taught to make butter by my grandmother on our farm in Suffolk. If you're from the US, you can use heavy cream (I lived there for a while and it's the same as 'double cream'). We simply left the fresh milk from our cow to stand overnight in a bowl so that the cream floated to the top, and then skimmed it off with a spoon, which is how I guess it would have been done back in the Iron Age. We used butter pats to shape and curl the butter for fancy occasions
Great instructions, with a sense of humour, love it! 🧀 💛
This is brilliant!! Thank you. I'd like to also know how to do the head wrap.
What type of fabric is the tunic undervthe wool clothes?
I’m betting nettle or linen
@@magesalmanac6424 Thanks. I was thinking probably linen. You can make cloth from nettles. I didn't know that. Very interesting!
Thanks for the cleaning tips! Question: how do I clean the brush I used for cleaning all this? Or is that step not important for the overall kitchen hygiene? Confused in 21st century cleaning habits😅
Great. No background music needed though!
This music is HIDEOUS. I was really interested in this video content, and couldn’t get past the totally distracting, incongruous Muzak.
Is she speaking English?
Yes.
As a person who sews, I am amazed at the size of the wool pieces. They seem to have been woven on an enormous loom, even the checked oval with its single seam. Interesting! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I suspect the fabrics may be of modern rather than replica manufacture
I agree that music is extremely annoying I stop watching
We pick all the leaves from the nettle plant. Very lightly , barely cook them. Throw them in the end of the cooking process & the heat will wilt the prickly hairs. Great in omelettes, quiche, soups ,anything cooked with a some heat.
very nice
Grew up sleeping in wool blankets and I still prefer wool socks and wool blankets.
I come from the South of the Netherlands and that also applies to almost all my ancestors. I hate woolen clothes. My mother knitted wool underwear, but it gave me a bad rash. Maybe that's why there are non-wool undergarments.
Brilliant. Thanks for showing. How lovely.
Interesting content but the music is annoying.
Just lovely.
I really love the giant oval cloak. I would love something like it in a cozy type textile. Maybe with a really fun fastener.
I'd give anything to go back to living in a close-knit tribe like this!
Are there not quite a few communes and communities around?
Or tightly woven! I don't think knitting was invented yet.
Just get some friends or move to a community like that (small vilages), but be ready to give up things like Starbucks on every corner. Because you probably don't want to really go back to that time. Y'know, with like 2/3 or your kids dying (if not more), no modern surgery, the danger of famine year after year, and so on.
So interesting.

Just discovered your channel. I've always been curious about the Iron Age. Subscribed!
as bad as it is for history and our understanding of the culture, props to that woman for being willing to wash clothing that had been in a bog for a thousand+ years lol
No. She destroyed so much archeological evidence!
Here here, Yes, the rest of the archaeological finds may have deteriorated because of her intervention. However, if she just stumbled upon an old fabric, I'd say it was already relatively exposed to the elements. I'd propose her saving it, loving it, appreciating it, trying to understand it, having respectful fun with it is opening doors to the understanding of the past + putting it to good use and potentially creating/evolving new practical ways to wear it and that's one better in my books, keeping the knowledge of the past alive in the flesh.
@@madder6218 then you didn’t pay attention to the expert in the video
Okay, just give me more tv like THIS. Thanks, Ladies!
Fans of Russell Hoban’s Riddley Walker might like to know that the experimental Neolithic farm at Buster was a great source for the farms in the novel.
Lovely video, thank you so much, I'm just sorry I came to it so late! I'll check out the channel. I really want to visit that place now
Are you dropping nettle into that pot in the beginning with your bare hands?!
Any place there were oaks, there was acorn flour, acorn cakes and acorn porridge.
Please stop adding background music! It is so distracting….
100% AGREE!
😮 I didn’t even notice the music till I read your comment. How funny!
Hi. Thanks for the video. How much salt do you add if you want to make it a salted butter.
Start w/a lil and taste, then add more if need
there are whole groups of people in Asia minor and Russia that still dress like this.
I could easily wear these to Orthodox church in the US. I have only attended parishes in the South and in TX, so I cannot speak for if that would go over well elsewhere.
I love her enthusiasm......and her accent
Was just trying to figure that out. I am thinking Brittany, but been in Britain for a long time. Would love to be able to ask her.
French non? She said she's French n'est-ce pas?
@@GiGiGoesShopping Yes, but there isn't one single French accent. Parisians don't sound like Alsacians don't sound like Brettons.
