EDITORS COMMENTS
In this reconstruction drawing by Peter Dunn of the English Heritage Graphics Team, we are transported back in time to the Iron Age, specifically Old Sarum in Wiltshire, England. The scene features an Iron Age man and woman, both dressed in typical attire of the era, standing before a round house with a smoky chimney rising from its thatched roof. The man, clad in a tunic made of animal hides, wears a protective cloak fastened with a brooch. His hands are adorned with intricately designed bracelets, and he holds a large shield in one hand and a spear in the other. The shield, made of wood and covered in animal hide, is adorned with geometric patterns and symbols, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Iron Age people. The woman, dressed in a long, flowing gown made of wool, wears a necklace made of beads and a headband adorned with feathers. She carries a woven basket on her back, likely used for gathering fruits, nuts, and other provisions. Her hair is styled in intricate braids, a common practice during the Iron Age. The round house in the background is a typical dwelling of the Iron Age people. Made of wattle and daub, with a thatched roof, these structures provided shelter and protection from the elements. The smoke rising from the chimney indicates that a fire is burning inside, providing warmth and light. This drawing offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Iron Age people, providing valuable insights into their culture, customs, and way of life. The intricate details of the costumes, shield, and weapon, as well as the round house in the background, make this a fascinating and educational piece of art that brings history to life.
