Marching Shoulder to Shoulder: New Life in the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Movement
On May 2, 1914, women, men, and children across the United States celebrated “National Suffrage Day.” Parades, speeches, and demonstrations in support of the proposed woman suffrage amendment to the United States Constitution took place in every state and territory in the country. The colors of woman suffrage (green, white, purple, and yellow) dotted the celebrations in the forms of pins, ribbons, banners, pennants, sashes, balloons, and clothing…
Chlorine-36 dating and the bluestones of Stonehenge
The bluestones of Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain continue to attract controversy. New dates on Stonehenge material using the Chlorine-36 method have been reported as evidence that the bluestones were moved from their Welsh sources by human transport, not by glaciation. Here Olwen Williams-Thorpe and colleagues, who have argued for the glacial transport theory, show that the Chlorine-36 dates have been misinterpreted
Interpreting the Heritage of Wales
It is believed by many that ethnological studies, and the presentation and interpretation of those studies in museums and other institutions, should be concerned almost entirely with the unchanging ways of inward-looking, mainly rural communities. To many, the raw materials of folk life study are the obsolete techniques, the primitive artefacts and the redundant buildings of a people tied to the land and who never wandered far from their native a…

Cockles and Mussels: Aspects of shellfish-gathering in Wales
The collecting of cockles [cardium edule: Welsh — rhython, cocos or cocs] and mussels [mytulis edulis: Welsh — cregyn gleision] is of great antiquity in Wales and there is extensive evidence from prehistoric and Roman sites that shellfish was important in the diet of early man. Throughout the centuries cockles and mussels, as well as other shore-living shellfish such as periwinkles [littorina littorea: Welsh — gwichiaid] and limpets [patella vulg…
Fish Weirs and Traps
Undoubtedly the trapping offish is one of the oldest methods of fishing known to man and throughott the country, in rivers and along the coast, may be seen the remains of stone or wattle weirs, many of them erected centuries ago for the capture of salmon and other fish. In Wales the widespread occurrence of the word gored as well as other names associated with the artificial damming of the flow of water, give some indication of the importance of …

Commercial Salmon Fishing in Welsh Rivers
The salmon (salmo salar) is a large delicately flavoured fish found inseas and rivers on both sides of the Atlantic. Most of the commercial netting and certainly all the trapping and illegal poaching in Welsh rivers today is concerned with catchingsalmon and its close relation the migratory trout or sewin (salrno truttai). In some rivers, notably the Tywi, Dyfi and Conway, the netting of sewin is as important, if not more important, than fishing …
The Welsh Woollen Industry
Post-Medieval Archaeology and Folk Life Studies
DURING THE NINETEENTH CENTURY, the antiquarian movement in the British Isles flourished tremendously, and local societies, variously called Philosophical Societies, or Literary Societies, Antiquarian Societies or Museum Societies were established in great number throughout the country to cater for the new interest in antiquities. One of the most important functions of these societies was to rescue the material remains of earlier centuries, and to…

Traditional Methods of Dyeing Wool in Wales
The stage in production at which wool is dyed varies according to the preferences of the textile worker and the type of cloth to be woven. In some cases raw wool, sometimes scoured, sometimes in the grease is dyed before carding. In the past, this was done in large, open vats and the worker would stir the boiling dye and wool at frequent intervals with a pole. In the smaller rural factories, this method of dyeing still persists. At the Esgair Moe…
A Cardiganshire Lip-worker
The Pen-uwch district of Cardiganshire is an upland area of dispersed family farms, famous not only for the number of Calvinistic Methodist preachers that were brought up there, but also for its long tradition of craftsmanship. Most of the craftsmen that practised their trade in the cottages and farmhouses of mid-Cardiganshire, were part-time, amateur workers, who served no apprenticeship and never owned a permanent village workshop. In an upland…

Bowl Turners and Spoon Carvers
In rural West Wales, the sycamore tree is a conspicuous element in the landscape, for although it rarely grows in plantations, coppices and natural forests, it occurs everywhere in farm hedgerows, as animal shelterbelts and on the banks of the numerous rushing streams. Indeed, sycamore is one of the few trees that can withstand the great force of the salt laden winds that blow in from the Irish Sea. For many centuries the sycamore tree has provid…
