Ulvsborg Historisk Værksted (DK)
Ulvsborg Historisk Værksted (historic workshop) is an initiative of an association. After picking up a lot of experience at places like Düppel (DE), Ukranenland (DE), Gross Raden (DE), Lejre (DK) and Trelleborg (DK), at the end of the 1990s, the idea was taken up to construct a fortified farm like important farmers would have had in the period 1050-1250 AD, which in Denmark is referred to as Late Viking Age or Early Middle Ages.
Ulvsborg is situated in Denmark, in the western part of Sealand near Asnæs in 24 acres of varied nature. It shows a fortified farm like important farmers would have had in the period 1050-1250 AD. This period in Danish history is known for its many wars and crusades, both far from home as nearby in Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.

State Historical and Cultural Reserve "Tustan" (UA)
Комунальний заклад Львівської обласної ради Адміністрація державного історико-культурного заповідника "Тустань" (Communal facility of the Lviv Regional Council Administration of the State Historical and Cultural Reserve "Tustan"). The reserve takes care of the remains of the fortress, its natural and historical environment
The fortress city of Tustan existed on the Uritsky rocks during the 14th-16th centuries. It was a strategic point of the Carpathian defense line, combining customs, administrative and military center. According to the construction technology, the fortress has no known analogues in the world[2]. The wooden building has not survived to this day, but more than 4,000 grooves and notches, into which the wood was inserted during construction, have been preserved. Their system allowed scientists to reproduce the appearance of the Tustan fortress with high reliability.

The historical and cultural reserve "Ancient Plisnesk" is located in the west of Ukraine, with an area of 450 hectares, which takes care of four medieval archeological monuments and an architectural monument of national importance. Among them are a unique Slavic cult center of the late 7th – 10th centuries, a huge Slavic city of the 9th – 10th centuries, a city of the 12th – 13th centuries, a necropolis with burial mounds of the Varangian soldiers of the Kyiv prince Volodymyr Svyatoslavovych and their descendants of the 11th – beginning of the 12th century and the Pidhoretsky monastery with a baroque church and cells of the 18th century.
The name "Plisnesko" comes from the word "pleso" - standing water.
The first excavations in Plisnesk were carried out as early as 1810, and systematic stationary archaeological research began in 1990 and continues annually to this day. A separate field of work of specialists is experimental archeology.
