In this episode of the Crannog-Cast, we sit down with Consultant Conservator and volunteer Jess Shaw who has been working on the next steps and training with how we can get visitors to the centre to clean the many Iron Age pottery fragments left behind by our wonderful Crannog Dwellers of Scotland.

On this episode of the Podcast We speak with [M], Javi and Julia, around their temporary art piece and ritual they carried out over Beltaine at The Scottish Crannog Centre. They provide a unique yet easily discussable take on Iron Age rituality towards seasonal times of year, and how this ties fundamentally to human need and nature within societies. They make it very clear they are artists who approach the world in a specific and wonderfully unique way, and we discuss what we as archaeologists and museum folk can take from this approach and not be ingorant to the artistic and spiritual needs of the past, and how valuable to Iron Age communities they would have been.

Today we sit down with Jason Oliver and talk about one of the pieces from The Scottish Crannog Centre's collection. The fabulous and fantastic textile fragment which was found at the site of Oakbank Crannog. It was date to 390BC and tells us a fantastic story around craft and skill. Jason talks about the work he has been doing trying to recreate the textile and what the future holds for understanding the weaving work of the past here at The Scottish Crannog Centre.

In this episode of the Crannog-Cast we sit and have a chat with Iain and Cameron, and talk about Coppicing, what it actually is, and how its sustainable nature is going to be essential for the creation of the new museum both initially and sustaining it for years to come.
