Spoon Fed Research

As I mentioned in my very first posting, some items that we will need just aren’t available in the archaeological record. Others, however, show up in a contexts unrelated to trekking. The spoons that we will be using are just such an object.

The left image is our reproduction spoon. On the right is the image of a spoon that was discovered at the Glastonbury dig in England.

These spoons are not the same shape and size of a typical modern spoon. In fact, thanks to their design, they are a nice hybrid between spoon, scoop, small cup, and ladle.

  2. Well, we haven’t started making them for sale… yet. But, considering that we’ll be making nearly a dozen of them for the people going on the trek I’m sure we’ll get practiced enough at it that we can start selling them. I’ll let you know once we get the process down.

  3. Any plans to start producing these yet? I know that Guthrum was also interested.
