Julia, the Bronze Age teenager

Julia, the Bronze Age teenager

Project: House of Hilde

Era: Bronze Age
Period: 2200-800 BCE, the Late Bronze Age
infant
Age: 16-17
This girl, a teenager really (16-17 years old), lived around 900 BCE. She was interred with a older boy in a filled ditch. In a first version she wore simple clothes, but to show the wealth of the Bronze Age she was later dressed more lavishly and richly.

A common burial method in that period was burial in burial mounds, but these two young people were buried in a simpler way. Most people from this period were farmers who held stock and cultivated grain and legumes among other things. The farms here were build on terps and were divided into a living area and a stable part.
