Especially impressive are the often massive ruins of dwelling foundations referred to as 'oncolithic' in my typology (for details see Beckmann 2012a).These foundations neutralize the often steep slope incline they are built upon, so that the original houses would have stood in a horizontal position. The settlement pattern and surface findings indicate that these installations were vernacular in character and probably housed mixed agricultural farms (ibid.).
We are delighted to announce that the Institut Català de Paleocologia Humana i Evolució Social (IPHES), the Institut Català d’Arqueologia Clàssica (ICAC), the Institut Català de Recerca en Patrimoni Cultural (ICRPC) and the EXPERIMENTA Association will organize the V International Congress of Experimental Archaeology in Tarragona on 25, 26 and 27 October 2017.
Since 1977 archaeological research have been realized by Archaeological Institute of SAV in Nitra in the area of Várhegy located in the village of Nižná Myšľa, examining skeletal burial ground and since 1988 there have been a research by Eastern Slovak Museum in Košice, which examines the fortified settlement from the Bronze Age. The authors of the research are Ladislav Olexa and Dárius Gašaj.
We try to present the public with the results of dozens of archaeological seasons through the replicas of the houses, fortifications and farm buildings built in the places where they originally stood and were the objects of archaeological research. In the area there is a partially reconstructed fortified settlement with a gateway and bridged moat. A replica of a log house and a house made of rows of poles from the Bronze Age are also parts of the complex. An event called Return to Várhegy takes place in this area once a year.
Prehistoric village project "Wet nook" is established by Ipea civic Association in Vyšný Kubín. We are focusing on dynamic presentation of ancient life based on local prehistoric culture. The main initiative was to build up a residential property along with production area and outbuilding.
The village Vyšný Kubín is situated on north Slovakia region – dolná Orava (lower Orava). From historical point of view is this area well known for its inhabitation by lusatian culture influence mainly from early and late Bronze Age until late Iron Age. The reconstruction of lusatian house is based on Slovak Academy of Science archaeological discovery back in 2008 done in Dolný Kubín, Ožinica district. The project has started in 2012 by building up the reconstruction of lusatian culture estate and shelters, which are used to present activities directly connected to the ancient time frame.
Spyros Bakas is among the first to introduce and promote Living History in Greece in 2002. Since then, he has participated, organised and directed numerous Experimental Archaeology as well as Living History projects in Greece and worldwide.
