Steep Stanes.. Brewing - BAJR Host - 26th November 2008

Nope?

Steep Stanes.. Brewing - m300572 - 28th November 2008

Or possibly not written in English Mr McHosty?

"Steep" - as in "to soak" rather than as in a steep hill

Stanes - stones, presumably some form of large stone trough.

Now are there any thoughts?

Smile d'ya mean a clootie stane?

Now you're just making things up!

There aren't any stones involved as far as I can tell.


Steep Stanes.. Brewing - BAJR Host - 28th November 2008

curses... found me out!

but intersting to see these features and items which we know so little about...

Steep Stanes.. Brewing - Fishslice - 29th November 2008

Dec Moore and Billy Quinn from Galway Irelandshire have suggested that fulachta fiadh (or burnt mounds) could have been used in the brewing process.

While largely from a prehistoric perspective, their blog contains some useful info on the use of hot stones added to troughs of water and mashed barley as part of the brewing process.

They also had an article in a recent Archaeology Ireland (Winter 2007?).

More information on Ireland before brewing can be found at http://www.mypartypost.com/watchvideo/3030/Family_Guy-_Ireland_Before_Alcohol

Billy and Dec's most excellent brewing adventure can be viewed here - http://www.digitaldigging.co.uk/top/projector_room.html (top of page)


Steep Stanes.. Brewing - achingknees - 29th November 2008

Great positive diversion from t'other threads at the moment. Archaeology of alcohol - might do that PhD if laid off...

Seriously, anybody else stuck with an enigmatic burnt mound site? What can you add to the mix? They do seem to be a Neolithic thing as well as the oft-cited Bronze Age placing.




Steep Stanes.. Brewing - Digitaldigging - 30th November 2008

There's a good article in Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnt_mound which points out that burnt mounds are often found adjacent to troughs, leading to the supposition that they are the product of periodic clearing out.
It then goes on about the possibility that they were an early sauna. I'm not entirely sure why, but I find this an odd conclusion to leap to. I much prefer Billy and Dec's suggestion. Thing is, even if they're completely wrong too, then at least they're completely pissed too.
