Series 2 Episode 3: It Must Be Love!
In episode 3 of this series journey through Shakespeare’s ‘7 Ages of Man’ [and Women!] we’ve reached young adulthood and love and romance (although, as we know romance isn’t just for the young…).
Hosts Lucy Shipley (Finds Liaison Officer, or FLO, in Devon) and Ben Westwood (FLO in Durham) talk about Loving and Affection in the archaeological record and are joined by a very special guest (our first non-PAS guest!) Dr Bridget Millmore.
Bridget earned her PhD researching ‘Love Tokens: Engraved Coins, Emotions and the Poor 1700-1856’ and we’ll be looking at some of those love tokens, as well as a very special convict token. We’ll also be dipping into Posy rings, and talking about emotion in the archaeological record.
There’s also a nursery rhyme: ‘There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile…’
Finds mentioned week:
Medieval diamond posy ring: https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/940786#
Henry VIII [Durham] love token: https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/925594#
