Ramsl, P. C. (2020) Diversity of male identities in early and middle La Tène period cemeteries in Central Europe. Nitra: Archeologický ústav SAV

166.p.

"As written in the chapter by J. Gretzinger and St. Schiffels in this book, it is clear by analyzing the DNA that this is a biological man. As mentioned above, it is a special case, proved by two methods. Therefore, it is up to archaeology to provide an interpretation. According to my best knowledge, it is the first proven case of a male person in the early Iron Age who is wearing part of a ‘typical female costume’ – so not only some female marker, but an extraordinary one."

My latest tattoo work:

Triskelion with La Tène Celtic ornamentation and a fine knotwork band. A devotional piece for three beloved gods. A joy to work on this piece - thank you for trusting me and for traveling all the way out to California to be tattooed. 🖤

Made at Ritual Tattoo in Berkeley.

RINVENUTO TESORETTO CELTICO DI "COPPE ARCOBALENO", BAITZ, GERMANIA

RINVENUTO TESORETTO CELTICO DI “COPPE ARCOBALENO”, BAITZ, GERMANIA

Un tesoretto di 41 coppette/monete d’oro concave celtiche/coppe arcobaleno è stato scoperto nello stato del Brandeburgo, nella Germania nord-orientale. Le monete non hanno segni e il numismatico Marjanko Pilekić della Fondazione Schloss Friedenstein Gotha stima che siano state coniate tra il 125 e il 30 a.C., da un confronto di peso e dimensioni con altre antiche coppe arcobaleno rinvenute nel…

Sword and Scabbard

Celtic, ca. 60 BCE

Although the scabbard has become amalgamated to the iron blade, affecting parts of the surface, its ornamentation and the exquisitely worked hilt make the whole an evocative statement about the technical ability of the Celts, the powerful conquerors of ancient Europe. The sword is of a type associated with the La Tène culture, named after the important Celtic site on Lake Neuchâtel in present-day Switzerland and eastern France. Other related anthropomorphic swords from diverse finds in France, Ireland, and the British Isles demonstrate the expansion of the Celts across Europe.

The Tara Brooch/ Dealg na Teambrach C8th CE, found in County Meath 1850

It is made of cast and gilt silver and is elaborately decorated on both faces. The front is ornamented with a series of exceptionally fine gold filigree panels depicting animal and abstract motifs that are separated by studs of glass, enamel and amber. The back is flatter than the front, and the decoration is cast. The motifs consist of scrolls and triple spirals and recall La Tène decoration of the Iron Age.

A silver chain made of plaited wire is attached to the brooch by means of a swivel attachment. This feature is formed of animal heads framing two tiny cast glass human heads.

Along with such treasures as the Ardagh Chalice and the Derrynaflan Paten, the Tara Brooch can be considered to represent the pinnacle of early medieval Irish metalworkers’ achievement. Each individual element of decoration is executed perfectly and the range of technique represented on such a small object is astounding.

I'm doing a College class on Ancient Foods. My focus is on Honey like the different recipes and usages in Medieval era. I found like a couple recipes, a thing on religious relation ("Milk and Honey of Paradise") /Crusades, medicinal use, and possibly bees/beeswax because I was struggling to get something.

Y'all have any recommendations?

(I've brought Zoe in on this one; the following is a collaborative effort. Also I'm assuming you have access to your university library so you can get ahold of the cited material below quickly and for free.)

Can you include beverages? Honey is the main ingredient in mead, which should give you a lot to talk about. Susan Verberg is the premier researcher on medieval mead, and has some excellent works on both mead making and honey production. She has a website at https://medievalmeadandbeer.wordpress.com/ where you can find both her formal publications and her blog.

If you do want to talk about beverages, there were other medieval drinks that used honey. Some citations for you:

Breeze, Andrew. “What Was ‘Welsh Ale' in Anglo-Saxon England?” Neophilologus, vol. 88, no. 2, 2004, pp. 299–301.

Fell, Christine E. “Old English ‘Beor’." Leeds Studies in English, vol. 8, 1975, pp. 76-95.

You can also go into cultural symbolism; here are a couple on that:

Enright, Michael J. Lady with a Mead Cup: Ritual, Prophecy, and Lordship in the European Warband from La Tène to the Viking Age. Four Courts Press, 2013.

Rowland, Jenny. “OE Ealuscerwen/Meoduscerwen and the Concept of ‘Paying for Mead'." Leeds Studies in English, vol. 21, 1990, pp. 1-12.

Also you might want to look into the general concept of the "mead of poetry" from the Old Norse sources. You can find the origin story for that in the Prose Edda, I believe.

Definitely check out https://www.foodtimeline.org for recipes with honey during the period - they have more than you'd expect. There's also a few medieval cookbooks you can parse through. Here's an online one you can sort through that does a great job modernizing the translations: https://www.medievalcookery.com/etexts.html

As for honey itself -- there's actually quite a bit of research on that! Honey was quite a specialized trade, and most of the medieval world used it for sweetener, so there's a good amount of research.

A few leads:

honey as an alternative to sugar, which was expensive, imported, and could indicate class

honey grading: honey was graded based on location/provenance, type (lavender, orange blossom, etc.), and also by grade. However, their method of grading was very different to our modern one.

honey as a preservative, not just for flavor

Articles on this subject:

(DEFINITELY this one!!) Fava, Lluis Sales, et al. “Beekeeping in Late Medieval Europe: A Survey of Its Ecological Settings and Social Impacts.” Anales de La Universidad de Alicante. Historia Medieval, no. 22, 2021, pp. 275-96, https://doi.org/10.14198/medieval.19671.

Wallace-Hare, David, editor. New Approaches to the Archaeology of Beekeeping. Archaeopress, 2022. JSTOR, https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctv2b07txd.

Verberg, Susan. “Of Hony: A Collection of Mediaeval Brewing Recipes for Mead, Metheglin, Braggot, Hippocras &c. — Including how to Process Honey — from the 1600s and Earlier,” 2017. Academia.edu.

If you want to look more into the medicinal usage, Cockayne's Leechdoms, Wortcunning, & Starcraft collects all the medical & scientific texts of the Old English period. It's old enough to be public domain, so it's available on the Internet Archive and HathiTrust in searchable form, meaning you can just ctrl-F "honey" and see what comes up.

Let us know how it goes!

olivier werewolf form

he is actually very small, so small that he can shift without having to change clothing. this ability is more less unique to him in this setting, among a whole cast of giant werewolves, that it gives him an edge in combat because he gets to stay armoured while they don’t. his aides add the helmet and neck protection when he turns. his armour is roughly based off old gallic armours which is roughly correct in the setting time and place, though the embossed decorations on the helmet and pauldrons are la tène style

#in fact he is 5'2" in human form and roughly the same as a dog just with different proportions #i made him anachronistically spiky as a way of adding more back defense like when ppl put hawk vests on lil dogs #setting: inver

Y'all know the Meyrick Helmet? I've always thought it was a hilarious artifact because it looks like a La Tène artist's take on a baseball cap, but I was just reading the description about it and the 'brim' part is actually a neck guard and the only thing I can think of now is Cú Chulainn rolling up to battle like

#Sword speaks #look at me and tell me it doesn't match #this is the vibe of a man who would insult the Morrigan and die on that hill and YOU KNOW IT #Cu Chulainn #irish mythology

- Gaul (celtic) : born around 700BCE (between the Halstatt and La Tène cultures); died not long after the Gallic wars in 52BCE

- Germania : born around 750BCE (Nordic Iron Age) died not long after Rome's fall

- England: born around 500 CE (first Anglo-Saxon kingdoms), he would fully become his "own" in 927 with the Kingdom of England, son of Britannia
