Description

Have you ever wanted to travel back in time? Back to the mediaeval period, to see the earliest printing press or spinning wheel? To the Bronze Age, watching from the sidelines as a blacksmith hammers out a beautiful leaf -shaped blade? How about the early Neolithic, to learn how to knap that perfect stone hand axe? Or even all the way back to the Palaeolithic, to witness the creation of the earliest ever clay object? Well, you’re in luck! My name is Matilda Siebrecht and I will be hosting a brand-new monthly series called Tea-break Time Travel. Every episode I will be joined on my tea break by a guest with expert knowledge on a particular archaeological object. Together, we will travel back in time, discussing the object itself as well as the cultures and environments surrounding its creation and use. So plug in your headphones, grab your hot beverage of choice, and settle down for a journey back in time!
