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.

Next Sunday, archaeologist Bettina Reicke will be putting this tree fiber, which can compete with some functional textiles, in the spotlight from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. She gives an insight into the production of this stable material and explains the complex production of Stone Age textiles from raffia.

At the same time, the Král medieval dye works will be presenting the colorful world of dyeing with natural materials.
