The seminar brings to life a wide variety of hunting methods from prehistory. The participants deal with various hunting devices, e.g. B. the spear and slingshot, the bola-bola and the longbow. All hunting weapons can be tried out on the grounds of the Archaeological Open-Air Museum. The range and target accuracy of the individual devices can be compared with one another.

For the third time in the garden of the Latvian Archaeological Club, visitors will be able to get to know archaeology and one of its practical aspects - experimental archaeology.

This week various bow makers are guests in the museum and show all their skills in the production of different bows.

The scientific conference Methodology and Archaeometry is being organised by the Department of Archaeology, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb since 2013. The goal of the conference is to entice interdisciplinary, critical thinking, new insights and approaches as well as new theoretical frameworks in contemporary archaeological science.

A stay in our museum is not only a nice time during the walk, but also a large dose of knowledge. Costumes, food, everyday items, residential buildings. See for yourself how man has developed over the millennia.
