What did our ancestors eat? How did they prepare and cook their food?
Join us in this engaging hands-on day as we journey back in time to explore answers to these questions. We will ‘travel’ from the Mesolithic, 10,000 years ago, through to the Iron Age, in the centuries before Roman times. We will consider the archaeological evidence, and what we know about the landscape during these times, as well as today's habitats.
Based in our lovely woodland, we will introduce the archaeological evidence, and lead you through a series of practical activities to identify, process and cook a variety of foods. Our day will culminate in the opportunity to sample a variety of dishes prepared during the day. Much of the day will be centred around plant foods, but as animal produce forms a significant part of the picture, some animal products will be prepared - these will be in a separate space, providing optional tasting.
The day will be led by Tristan Bareham - an engaging facilitator with a wealth of knowledge and over 35 years’ experience experimenting with and teaching about the archaeological crafts of prehistoric Sussex. Co-leading will be Milly Hawkins, who has over 15 years’ experience leading practical foraging workshops from a prehistoric perspective. Milly is also Head of Community Learning at the Railway Land Wildlife Trust.
*Please note that all food materials will be sourced by course leaders from other sites, as foraging is not permitted at the Railway Land
