EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the Iron Age, specifically to the enchanting Carn Euny Ancient Village in Cornwall. The reconstruction drawing, skillfully created by Judith Dobie from English Heritage Graphics Team, vividly depicts a scene of daily life during this ancient era. In this bustling village setting, we are presented with an idyllic rural landscape where farmers and their families go about their daily tasks. A group of farmers can be seen outside a traditional roundhouse, which serves as their dwelling and central hub for domestic activities. These sturdy huts were crafted using locally sourced materials and provided shelter for families throughout the year. The focal point of this illustration is undoubtedly the herd of goats grazing peacefully nearby. Livestock played a crucial role in Iron Age communities, providing sustenance through milk and meat while also serving as valuable trade commodities. Through this graphic representation, we gain insight into the intricate relationship between humans and animals during that period. It offers a glimpse into the self-sustaining nature of these villages where farming was not only essential for survival but also formed an integral part of their cultural identity. Thanks to Historic England's Photo Library collection curated by English Heritage, we have been granted access to this remarkable visual record that allows us to appreciate our ancestors' way of life in all its rustic charm.
