Experimental archaeology has been a core research and teaching methodology at Sheffield since the early-1990s. Crossing archaeomaterials and environmental archaeology, experimental investigations are a key component of our work and have offered a multifaceted approach to our research. We integrate experimental methodologies and practice into our taught modules to inform interpretation as part of understanding our past.
Our research covers a vast number of archaeological periods from prehistory to recent history, working closely with modern practitioners to inform our work in a collaborative environment.

The medieval village is a collection of reconstructed houses, from 1350, with livestock. The village is the starting point for a lot of fun and educational experiences, and is an obvious historical excursion destination for you as a school or for your whole family.
The museum was established in 1999 by Brøndby Municipality as an offer for the municipality's primary schools. This was the year when museums, cultural institutions, theaters and primary schools in Denmark focused on the Middle Ages.
On a daily basis, the village is a living part of Brøndby Municipality with a bunch of happy and committed people who sow, build, sew, smith, take care of the animals, cover and make firewood and do things and do things.

As a trained archaeologist, I have 30 years of experience in analysing (metal) slag from archaeological excavations in several European countries. To understand the process of slag formation it is necessary to have both theoretical and practical knowledge.
