Please look out for it and circulate to anyone you know who might have an interest in anything to do with salt heritage.
Ecosal-UK has organised a webinar about salt making to be held on-line on the afternoon of 13th October 2022.
1. David Cranstone
2. Tom Lane
The archaeology of salt making – locations of surface, buried and submerged sites in Lincolnshire.
Break
3. Andrew Fielding
Digital reconstructions of salt making sites and their processes.
4. Q&A and Discussion
Andrew has had a paper accepted for the 2021 Congress of the Society for Post Medieval Archaeology. The Congress will be delivered on-line this year due to the Covid restrictions.
The paper will describe the publication written by Dr William Brownrigg in 1771 about how to prevent the spread of contagious diseases and link his suggestions to the current Covid-19 pandemic.
In 1748 Dr Browbrigg wrote a paper about how to improve salt making.
