MESOLITHIC - BUILDING THE FIRST HOUSE
Director: Greg Colley
Duration: 6 mins
A short documentary following the journey from scattered materials to completed structures to recreate Ireland's Mesolithic technology. A collaboration between Greg Colley and the production team, Dr Graeme Martin Warren and the UCD School of Archaeology.
Dr Warren is a College Lecturer in the School of Archaeology, University College Dublin, he was appointed in 2002 to expand the School's practical teaching skills and provide a specialism in early prehistory. His primary research is on the early prehistoric archaeology of Ireland and Britain in European context. He focuses on hunter-gatherers and the adoption of agriculture (Mesolithic & Neolithic).
Experimental archaeology involves "the creation of objects, buildings, activities and contexts from the past, through which people's lives can be thought about in more practical terms." In other words, this is a "hands on" approach where archaeologists don't just collect and study existing archaeological finds but they actually try to replicate anything from pots to houses, using only the materials and techniques that would have been used from the time period in question
The UCD Experimental Archaeology Team are engaged in a number of site, or landscape, specific fieldwork projects; including inter-disciplinary projects examining the interplay between archaeology and landscape change over time; and numerous projects examining - early prehistoric archaeology, hunter-gatherers past and present, material culture studies and stone tool analysis.
This short film was made with the support of Science Foundation Ireland and co-funded under the Programme for Research in Third-Level Institutions (PRTLI) 'Investing in your Future'.

You're probably familiar with "Nomad Architecture". It's great to see people building houses together with many different materials and in many different forms.
I really enjoyed your video and would like to see more maybe you could do a round house and please explain the various steps like thathing I love in the states (kentucky ) where we have a lot of rock houses so a detailed video or maybe some kind of a book or plans.keep up the good work I loved it

Interesting How could recreate those tools.
And where is it now, has there been more or others?
Is it still standing?
Imagine a tourist camp where a family could live in the stone age and "graduate" up through the centuries by staying a night in each those different habitats to experience what our ancestors went through.
Leaving the bark on the poles is a waste of a great resource birch bark can be used for countless things oil for one and the poles won't rot as fast if they are barked lol

Hello hugh

Looks like lots of hole for the rain to come in and also the rain will turn that sod to mud. This is a a joke. No way it would be that tall.
Do they really need to wear those neon green bibs? Kind of ruins the whole mesolithic vibe
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
