The parco delle palafitte is nearly complete now, opening in June 2021: a journey into prehistory between archaeology and nature, discovering a UNESCO world heritage site, preserved in the Fiavé torbiera.

Fiavé is one of the 111 places, together with Ledro, part of palafitte preistoriche dell’arco alpino site; it is included in the UNESCO world heritage from 2011.
The Research Center for Interpretation and Experimental Archeology (Pôle de recherche, interprétation et archéologie expérimentale, PRIAE) is a international initiative.
Research, interpretation and experimental archeology center - its main objective is to increase the knowledge about the musical practice of Antiquity and the Middle Ages, as we ll as the inventory, study and valuation of artefacts adjoining.
Padua University, at the Dept. of Cultural Heritage: Archaeology, History of Art, of Music and Cinema is one of the few Italian universities to have an official Laboratory of Experimental Archaeology and this last matter as a study course.
It is called L.A.S.eR.T. (Laboratory of Experimental Archaeology and Research on Ancient Technology), and at present is directed by Massimo Vidale and Ivana Angelini. We have wide a semi-open, covered space with three different potter's wheels, a good set of all the necessary tools, a wide collections of waste material from copper melting, glass making, flint knapping material used in our classes to help students to understand which kind of residues they should expect, when dealing with an ancient workshop, and "alphabetize" our students in a basic dimension of materiality.
The craft weekends are entirely devoted to the special historical crafts from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages. Every weekend there is a different theme, such as pottery, blacksmithing or clothing and textile processing.
For anyone interested in crafts or history in general, these are the weekends you don't want to miss!

My career in experimental aspects of ancient ship design and construction started in 1981 with the construction of the late Tim Severin's Sindbad Voyage. Following that my interests expanded to maritime archaeology and ethnography.
