Association for the preservation and promotion of traditional flax craftsmanship (Verein zum Erhalt und zur Förderung des traditionellen Flachshandwerks)
In March 2021, hand spinner Christiane Seufferlein Austria was given a chest full of flax. The owner was a certain Berta Pumberger Winhager. Her son was looking for a "good place" for his late mother's cherished bridal chest. Since a chest containing 80 kilos of fibre material would have simply been too much for her own use, the fibre artist began giving the braids away to an international spinning community. After a small article in the local weekly newspaper, many elderly people in the region came forward who also had flax and linen to give away.
On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the “Living History” project, the open-air museum on Kiekeberg invites you to a conference on the topic of living history, building on a specialist conference 15 years ago in the open-air museum that examined the status quo and perspectives at the time illuminated and questioned by living history formats.
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).

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.
