The Fonsado is the annual SIAH meeting where all attendees enjoy a long weekend of archery activities, workshops, conferences and archery fraternity.

The Langobardenwerkstatt Zethlingen is part of the Johann-Friedrich-Danneil-Museum in Salzwedel and serves as an educational centre for the Museums of the Altmarkkreis Salzwedel. It shows life and culture of people from the Roman Iron Age in the Altmark.

Since 1820, excavations on the Mühlenberg (mill hill) have unearthed more than 2000 cremation graves from the 2-6th century AD and several iron smelting furnaces. In the direct vicinity of today’s village, a contemporary settlement with several pit houses was excavated.

I started experimenting with bronze casting, ceramics, glass beads, smithing and other things while studying Prehistoric Archaeology in 2013.
When did I start? So long ago I do not exactly recall. I've done very early hunting since the seventies. I learned to make my own arrows and bows to historic models. I'm learning to knap flint into points. I've learned to use the atlatl and darts, the sling (Balearic in this case).
