Wooden bowl found in a peat mossThis wooden bowl was found in a peat moss at Kirkchrist in Wigtownshire. It was made sometime between 80 and 250 AD. The large bowl has been shaped by hollowing out a piece of wood to form an oval bowl with two lugs. It was not finished. Wood was plentiful and early people used it skilfully, employing a range of axes and other tools for different tasks. Wooden objects survive only where conditions are favourable, and few therefore survive to indicate the range of objects made. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
