Good Folk, We are really pleased and excited by the response to Early Period. The number of paid subscribers has risen to 41 with several from outside the Kingdom of Meridies. We have received questions about subscriptions. The current rate is $10.00 per year, which starts with the first issue. Our address is:David and Rebecca Wendelken Yes, we are looking for articles artwork, etc. Artwork should be basted on historic sources or depict historic events. Articles must include sources and subject matter must be pre-1066. We lean toward "how to" articles. If you have information to share and don't feel comfortable writing, we do edit. We also supply illustrations where needed. Please send submissions to the above address. If you are interested in illustration, you might want to take a look at The Geometry of the Cross-Carpet Pages in the Lindisfarne Gospels by Jaques Cuilmuin. It is in the January 1987 issue of Speculum. Check your local library. Also of interest is the BBC production for the Horizon series called Decoding Danebury. It is the account of 10 seasons of excavations by Barry Cunliffe at the iron age hill fort of Danebury. It is reviewed in the March/April 1987 issue of Archeology (pp. 76-77). In the same issue is an article on the Corning Glass exhibition Glass of the Caesars (pp. 54-57). Next issue will have an article on Celtic clothing, the long promised article on tablet weaving, felt making, open fire cooking adapting early helmet styles for SCA fighting and more.Fuiltigherne and Andras | ||
