March 31st.Trevor Creighton: Paper: Butser Ancient Farm: Bronze Age Roundhouse Collaborative Project 2021 . EAC12. 12thEXARC Experimental Archaeology Conference.The name Eggs to Apples comes from the Latin phrase Ab ovo usque ad mala, literally translated as “from egg to apples”, meaning from the start of the meal to the end. Eggs to Apples offers the feel of an outdoor market in a beautiful and environmentally focused indoor space. As Susannah Hewett, one of the shop’s owners puts it, “Eggs to Apples is the farm shop come of age. This is about the full basket shop and allowing our customers to buy everything they need to cook and eat fantastic food using high quality, affordable and where possible locally-sourced produce from within Kent and Sussex.”

In 2021 Butser Ancient Farm launched a platform of documentaries about their experimental archaeology projects called Butser Plus. [14] See also [ edit ] In more recent years, the study of buildings has become a key component of the farm’s research. Each building on display to the public today represents the conclusion of an experiment, conducted in response to theoretical hypotheses about archaeological features found in excavation, about construction methods and techniques, or a combination of these.

Vegetables are sourced locally wherever possible and pumpkins are grown on the farm. There are lots of other treats in the shop too, including cheese, milk and ice cream, ham, preserves, apple and pear juice. They even sell knitting wool from their own sheep.

Chains: These prevent the chained object from moving. The chained object must be matched or use a bonus item to remove the chain. Double chained items must have each chain removed separately. More than 10,000 schoolchildren a year come to Butser for visits to their really old past. There are several areas for hands-on instruction in archaeology, including a forest of tree stumps and rough wooden mallets, for breaking white chalk into fine powder for whitewash. Kids really get into smashing that soft limestone. The Doctor Who serial " The Mysterious Planet" was filmed at the farm. An episode of the 2005 BBC Television documentary series What the Ancients Did for Us examining the ideas and inventions of the Ancient Britons was filmed here.
