In the Fall of 2010, we had many Alside window sets put in. When Spring came, we opened all but four of the windows 1/4 to 1/2 way. We never fully closed and locked the windows until late July/early August when the hurricane was due to come up the east coast.
Almost everybody in the Iron Age was involved in farm work and that goes for women and children, too. In order to prepare the land people used a special kind of plough, an ard, which was pulled by a couple of oxen. That was probably the men's part of the work. Very few people were actual artisans.
Home At the Time of the Tollund Man Houses. The houses which made up the villages of the farmers of the Iron Age had an economic life of 30 to 40 years. When they had reached that age they were often worn out and were torn down.When the house was broken down they pulled up the best of the lumber from the ground in order to use it again.he houses were relatively small during the Early Iron Age. But around the birth of Christ they slowly began to grow larger. The oldest houses were on average 16 to 17 metres long whereas the younger houses were 20 to 22 metres long-a few were even longer.
