Mesolithic

For the anniversary «10 years UNESCO World Heritage Site of prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps» we are going to the lake together with the Office for Monument Preservation and Archeology. At the Zuger Landsgemeindeplatz we provide information about the world heritage and the pile dwelling.

Animations, reconstructions and archaeological experiments in connection with the evolution of artisanal techniques.

In 2021, the Latvian Archaeological Club will participate in the European Archeology Days for the second year, this year one day - on June 19. Within the framework of the event, various prehistoric skills workshops, demonstrations, lectures will take place.

Program:

So inconspicuous and yet so versatile: Boxes and baskets, ropes and nets, coats and shoes are just a small selection of the things that were made from raffia around 6000 years ago.

Experimental archaeology combines scientific research methodology with traditional craftsmanship, public relations and community building.
