Pre-Proposal Post: Trichinopoly

Trichinopoly
Research questions that have been decided on in the last meeting:

Was trichinopoly a specialized craft made by craftsmen or was it done in the home?
Was it a masculine or feminine trade?
Does the specific metal used affect the ease of production of the trichinopoly pieces?


Group Members: I have also found this site which mentions some of the archaeological items that we had looked at within our initial research. I have not looked into it any further but will when I get the chance to. 

Trichinopoly is a form of metal working sometimes referred to as Viking Knit
Some photographic examples:
Perhaps Gold?
A Progress Piece?

A SIlver Chain
