Bronze Age Connections- Crafting the Past
Smoke fired Causeway Coast Incense pots
Along the North Antrim coast, examples of these little enigmatic pots have been discovered. Dating from the Bronze Age, they contain burnt wood and can be highly decorated. They usually have a pair of holes near the rim that no-one knows what they were for…
