Iron Age Hygiene

Archaeosoup Productions presents a Youtube video about how we think about who was hygienic back in the iron age. Many seem to attribute our current values of cleanliness and beauty to the ancient Romans, but the Northern Europeans had their own rituals of hygiene. It is worth taking a look at Archaeosoup Productions’ other videos–they have lots of videos about archaeology and various channels that approach the discipline from different angles. One channel explains aspects of the discipline, another answers viewers’ questions, and this video was from a channel called “Hidden Histories.”
