Biennial International Conference for the Craft Sciences
To those of you doing hands-on experimental work in the field, lab, classroom, or anywhere else please come to ASOR 2020 in Boston and present your work in the "Experimental and Experiential Archaeology" session. I know many of you are doing exciting and interesting things and we'd love to hear about them!
The terrain of the "Oertijdpark" entirely belongs to our ancestors this weekend. The ancient people show life in prehistory. The Stone Age, the Iron Age and the Bronze Age come to life. People live, work, eat, do and feel just like they do now. Experience the primeval time, experience the human being who is still in full contact with nature. Feel their dependence, experience their hard work.
During the Prehistory festival, our Prehistory park is overflowing with prehistoric people. The hunebed builders and their descendants imitate life in prehistoric times. With a group of prehistoric people, the Stone Age, Iron Age and Bronze Age are brought to life. Lots of things are going on! People live, work, eat, do and feel, as they did long ago.

Prehistoric Clothing
In such a long age, in a very different world in these millennia, what do we know about what we were wearing then?
Working with a bow and arrow has archaeological, historical, technical, sporting and craft aspects. During the weekend, the basics of bow making and archery with traditional equipment will be taught. Ready-to-use bows and arrows are manufactured under expert guidance based on archeological or ethnological models.
Research by the Laboratory of Prehistory and Experimental Archaeology (LaPArS – Laboratorio di Preistoria e Archeologia Sperimentale) of the University of Sassari is orientated towards the study of cultural phenomena of recent Prehistory in the Western Mediterranean, with particular attention paid to insular archaeology and Sardinian Prehistory.
Along with scientific objectives, which are its principal purpose, the Laboratorio also serves to supplement the didactic resources of the university, through seminars and outdoor practical activities as well as through workshops. A third aim is to encourage contact between the scientific world and the general public, using methodological approaches such as Public Archaeology and Experimental Archaeology.
