We also actively train our birds of prey using methods derived directly from the ancient manuscripts. Many of the original manuscripts and treatises about historical falconry still exist from the past. The Albion Falconry Historical Research Team collects copies of these manuscripts, along with other historical literature that features hunting and falconry, in order to undertake a credible study of this ancient art. Falconry methods have changed so much in modern times that there is a very real risk that the ancient skills used by our forebears will be lost to the passage of time. It is our belief that we cannot simply let this knowledge be lost. Falconry is our most ancient field sport and played a very important part in the cultural heritage and development of many societies throughout history and across the world. It features heavily in many other aspects of historical lifestyle, such as poetry, literature, and even fight styles. In order to truly understand the mind set of the people who lived in those times, we believe that is is essential to be able to truly understand every aspect of how they lived. However, we feel that it is not enough to simply read these works and accept the information contained therein at face value. Our historical research team, made up of ourselves (the falconers), and our birds, all of whom are pure bred, parent reared, historically accurate species, actually put what we have learned into practice. All of our birds of prey are fully trained using these historically accurate methods, derived from manuscripts dating from the 1100's to the 1800's. As such, we are unique within the UK - we are the only team to use exclusively naturally reared, pure bred examples of historically accurate species of bird which have been trained using the original historical methods. We offer multiple periods for historical falconry displays, from Roman all the way to Civil War, and also offer multi-cultural displays including Sengoku Period Japanese and Crusader/Arabic themes. The ATC began over 25 years ago as a school project. Jake Keen, a teacher working at Cranborne Middle School, designed and led the building of an Iron Age roundhouse based on archaeological evidence. Uniquely, Jake’s ethos demanded the construction and material gathering to be undertaken by school children. The harvesting of materials took place in local woodlands and reed beds and after 6 months, the children began work on building the structure. A year of hard work saw the completion of the roundhouse and marked the beginning of the Ancient Technology Centre. Over the years, schools became interested in the roundhouse project and began to visit in small groups. Further buildings were constructed – always with the focus placed on experimental archaeology and hands on child participation. The ATC flourished with the addition of Reg Miles, a Dorset man who has worked at the centre ever since. Reg brought many traditional skills and a wealth of practical knowledge to the centre, and much of our teaching is still based on his unrivalled knowledge and enthusiasm for teaching young people. Luke Winter took over the management of the ATC in 2002. An experimental archaeologist by training, his focus has been on improving the existing activities and buildings at the centre, while developing public access to the site and leading to the construction of our Viking Longhouse residential building. The ATC is striving to open its doors regularly to the public and this year will join the International Organisation of Archaeological Open Air Museums. We now have an active volunteer association which supports the maintenance of the buildings and site. Our staff are dedicated to the education of children and the preservation of ancient skills.
