Thatched cottages by adamjason1
our reconstruction of a neolithic house found near kingsmead quarry near horton in berkshire, uk!
evidence of neolithic housing is actually really rare in the uk, & this is one of the biggest examples ever found -- it measures 15 x 7.5m, with the widest point in the middle
the site was excavated by wessex archaeology in 2012, & we've interpreted it as an a-frame building. our reconstruction is made of oak, scots pine, hazel, and ash, with 5-6 tons of thatch and 950m of rope used to lash the timber together
we also experimented with making a 'window' from deer skin stretched & scraped thin to let light through -- it works really well!
hello! if it's not too much trouble, (only when you have the time/patience/energy, of course, and only if you want to) do you happen to have any good explanations/tutorials on thatching the part of a reroot? i've never been able to find one that clicks for me mentally, and it's the one basic thing i still struggle with in reroots! thanks for all the posts about rerooting/styling you already do, i've learned a lot just from looking at your work :)
oooh I do not like thatching and avoid it when possible except for bangs but my method is NOT rooting both the lines at the same time and folding each plug left then right because it's too fiddly:
find somewhere with good lighting or point a desk lamp at the head
pencil on two lines or dotted lines (or use contrasting paint/crayon)
root the first line normally
put in hair clips to hold it down but not too tight
then push the needle between the plugs of line 1 (it helps to use the end tine of the comb to make space) to place the second, rooting at a slight angle.

Wiązka ziół (wrotycz) suszących się pod frontowym okapem i wiązanie strzechy XIX-wiecznej ubogiej chałupy z Lipnicy Wielkiej, urządzonej jako rekonstrukcja domu zielarki. W tle zagroda bogatego gospodarza z 1834 r., z Mszalnicy.
Wszystkie budynki na zdjęciach zostały przeniesione ze swych pierwotnych miejsc do muzeum w latach 1970-1972. Słoma wszystkich widocznych strzech została wymieniona na świeżą w 2016 r.

Bunch of herbs (tansy) drying under the front eaves and knotting of the thatch of a mid-19th c. poor house from Lipnica Wielka, set up as a reconstruction of a village 'wise’ woman and herbalist’s household. In the far background, a wealthy farm built in 1834 in Mszalnica.
All buildings on the photos were moved from their original sites to the museum in 1970-1972. In 2016 all of them got re-thatched with fresh straw.
Thatched rooflines are unique for every thatcher - like a signature
