#This has been a whistlestop tour of my favourite exhibits but I'd really recomend a visit if you're in Aber!

Pictures from my first visit to Ceredigion Museum (back in 2022). I realised I never uploaded these here so I decoded to make a post about it.

For those of you who don't know, aside from writing Llyfr Enfys, I'm a Celtic student in the Welsh and Celtic department at Aberystwyth University. As such, I love all things Late Bronze/Early Iron Age!

The first picture is of a mannequin dressed in Iron Age clothes. When I last went to the museum this year they'd taken her down though.

The next few pictures are of Mesolithic-Chalcolithic finds in the Ceredigion area. My favourite thing is the reproduction pot underneath the woodpigeon taxidermy (the museum is full of random taxidermy animals, I like to see how many I can spot each visit!). The original pot is there too and contained remains of a meal of porridge and crab apple. Delicious!

The next four images are of Bronze Age artifacts. Various urns, sherds and bronze axes.

After that is an image I took of two very special spoons from Castell Nadolig. Nobody knows the exact function, but they're often referred to as Iron Age divination spoons. These ones weren't out last time I visited either, they may be on loan or elsewhere for preservation.

And the final image is of some Roman rooftiles. These are the oldest examples of roofing anywhere in the region!
