Overview

""Domestic Wooden Artefacts"" traces the changing styles and manufacturing techniques of wooden domestic artefacts. The book attempts to answer questions about who made the many and varied objects, who used them and how their style and decoration compares to contemporary pottery, metal and stone artefacts. It contains much previously undated material, as well as material from a number of recent excavations. This text should be of interest to archaelogists interested in wooden finds and woodworking, and in the history of domestic life, as well as the general reader with an interest in the past.

.,. a book which should most certainly be on the shelves of every museum and university library and should be one of the starting points for anyone proposing to study domestic wares and traditional crafts. The book makes a significant contribution to our knowledge of this relatively neglected field. -Folk Life
