About this event
Over 2,000 combs were recovered from the National Museum of Ireland's excavations in Dublin and within them there is a small but significant group of combs of Scandinavian origin. They can be identified to type and examined for their materials, technology and wear patterns, indicating their possible origins, the skill of their manufacture and the extent to which they had been used before they were discarded.
This talk will be presented by Ian Riddler and Nicola Trzaska-Nartowski, Archaeological Small Finds specialists.
Free event, booking required. Suitable for adults.
This event will take place in the Ceramics Room, first floor, National Museum of Ireland - Archaeology and is not wheelchair accessible.
