Townsend video about distractions
Not our period of course, but a great video by John Townsend and Sons entitled "Is our quest for history ruined by present day distractions?" a question that Cariadoc has asked (and answered) before in his various publications. Short and worth watching if only to introduce you to this chan...

Secrets of the castle
While not relevant for our period of study, this is such an amazing story of experimental archaeology where a group is building a relica castle using period techniques.

Clann throwing axes
When Brogan dropped off the trailer and helped put some of the metal stuff away in the garage he also gave me the Clann axes. There are six of these and they were in a terrible condition, completely covered in rust. All of the axes have 19" handles (one seems to be a bit longer). Four of the ax...

Re: The Tain by The Decemberists
The Wikipedia article has the following information about it. It's almost 15 years old already! I find the music and lyrics do indeed suit the piece, and since you can usually not understand everything Colin Meloy is singing with his odd speech impediment (or is it an affectation?) it works either w...

Re: Coming Soon!
It was the adoption of Latin letter shaped hooks which marks the major demarcation between pre-literate ogham using Celts and post-Latin Irish and explains why the former were so skinny. For years Celts tried to employ Ogham shaped hooks but their pots and cauldrons kept sliding off and landing dire...

Re: Coming Soon!
Nice job Faellon! I assume the main idea for this was for places that dont allow ground fires, so well done providing what the Clann needs when the Clann most needs it.

Re: DNA evidence for Irish myths
A new DNA study (discussed at lenth, with graphs, in this Daily Mail article ) suggests that the Irish are far more genetically diverse than previously thought. Its been shown that most Irish have some Viking and Norman ancestry and those with more Celtic blood are found only in the west. IrishDNA.j...
