The Kamianets-Podilskyi Museum under the auspices of the EXARC association with the cooperation of the NGO "Chorna Halych" is holding the first international scientific and practical conference "Living history and experimental archaeology".
From Wednesday the 28th of December to Friday the 30th of December we are hosting a very special Medieval Christmas Fayre!
At the annual conference of the EAA there will be several sessions related to experimental archaeology which EXARC happily supports. They fall in theme 4, "People of the Present - Peopling the Past".
Please note: the conference is hybrid, but only EAA members will be able to see presentations or participate.

Ostvytsya is a historical and cultural project that recreates the atmosphere of the Rus' era of the 9th-12th centuries with the help of historical reconstruction and experimental archaeology.
The park is allocated an area of two hectares right next to the ancient Old East Slavic hillfort of the 10th-12th centuries found by archaeologists, which is an archaeological monument of national significance.
Our goal is a historical reconstruction of an ancient settlement, which includes architectural and cultural reproduction of dwellings, handicraft workshops, sheds, defensive walls, towers, fortified entrances, and boats, where one can touch the daily routine, life, and entertainment of the period of Ancient Rus.
The main activities of the park:
Retired archaeologist (Neolithic, Roman etc.), now specialised in archaeometallurgy.
This new exhibition will be officially opened at 11 a.m. Archaeologists and excavation technicians are guests in the museum from 12 noon. They bring their tools with them and demonstrate how modern archaeology works.
