Series 2 Episode 1: Early Life in Artefacts
PAStCast! [The original and the best…]
The podcast from the Portable Antiquities Scheme - the PAS
….and WE’RE BACK!!! Episode 1 of Series 2!
For this series we’ve decided on a theme to guide us, and you, through some of the fantastic artefacts on our database. We’ve adopted a loose structure from Shakespeare’s famous ‘All the world's a stage’ monologue in ‘As You Like It‘: The ‘Seven Ages of Man’ (and, of course, Woman. Conkey and Spector even get a mention in this episode, and you can find their seminal paper ‘Archaeology and the Study of Gender’ here https://www.jstor.org/stable/20170176?seq=1 and here https://web.stanford.edu/class/ihum42/archgender.pdf )
In episode 1 hosts Lucy Shipley (Finds Liaison Officer, or FLO, in Devon) and Ben Westwood (FLO in Durham) talk about infancy in the archaeological record, and objects related to that ‘Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms’ stage in life!
We're joined by the fantastic FLO for Staffordshire & West Midlands, Victoria Allnatt, who has a special interest in the objects we discuss.
Finds:
child's leather shoe: https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/961163
wooden "whipping" top toy: https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/961167
Romano-British figurine of a baby boy: https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/1015140
