"The basic pot was made by rolled up clay until it was thin. We had to wrap the rolls of clay round on top of each other like a spring. We had to use our thumbs to smooth it out so there were no gaps, then Will gave us some chunks of clay which we had to make into a 'C' shape for the handles.We rolled up bits of clay to make the mouth, eyes and eyebrows. For the fancy decoration we used rolled up bits of clay and used our thumbs to squeeze the middle of the ball so there was a hollow in the centre and the outsides were thicker.
We used water to stick the decorations on the tops of the pots."

Aidan Scott, an archaeologist who specialises in Celtic Briton, went into Mrs Pink's class to teach the children about Hillforts, Settlements and Roundhouses.

"The Celts built houses right on the top of hills so they could look out to see if there was an enemy coming."
"The front door was made of wood and the walls were made of stone. The roofs weren't slate like ours, they were thatched and they were made of reeds or bracken. Some Celts had a beam going across the ceiling on which they would hang a cauldron and a ladle. Leading through the front door there is a tiny pathway. Inside there is a fire not a coal fire a wood one."
"In one corner there is a weaving loom and a big basket of sheeps wool. They coloured the wool by putting it in boiling water with a coloured plant."
