WOMEN OF THE IRON
AGE..
LOVE OF FINERY IN OLDEN TIMES.
Glastonbury, Sept. 15. From the peaty soil of a meadow hard by this village archeologists are digging out the history of men and women "who were living civilised lives in Somerset 2,200 years and more ago. They were the Britons of the early Iron Age, amazingly versatile folk. but rather timid, who built their homes in the midst of lakes for fear of their enemies.
From this lake village of Meare they were compelled to row in their log boats, scooped out of trees, to what was then the vil lage of Glastonbury. Excavations which have been and still are being made under the direction of Dr. A. Bulleid and Mr. H. St. George Gray, curator of the Somerset County Museum, Taun- ton, and secretary of the Somer- set Archæological Society, have resulted in important discoveries.
These prove, for instance, that British women of 200 B.C.. were just as anxious to make the most of their looks as are the women of to-day.

Women then had, too, a definite! feminine love of finery, as wit neas the beautiful coloured beads and the many decorative and ser- viceable dress pins which have been unearthed.
As for the men, there is proof that they gambled, for among the many interesting finds are oblong- shaped dice, cut out of bone and numbered in dots 3, 4, 5, and 6. It estimated that there were 120 houses in the village and most of these have to be located.
