Early Middle Ages

Third Time Lucky!

The Faculty of Archaeology, University of Warsaw, with great joy and enthusiasm will take part in the annual European Archaeology Days. In Poland, the event is held under the patronage of the National Institute of Cultural Heritage.

The Beltaine festival, celebrated among the Gauls at the start of the light season, marks the start of agricultural work: banquet, music, bonfires and ritual battles are on the program for the evening of 23 April.

On this weekend you will experience the Middle Ages in the whole town of Bärnau with all your senses!

The Middle Ages are not the same as the Middle Ages. You can see this particularly clearly in the clothing. Today we want to introduce you to the various fashions of the early Middle Ages with tunics, calf wraps and temple rings, in the High Middle Ages with givers, leg warmers and surcots, or in the late Middle Ages with pourpoints and straps.

On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Musée des Temps Barbares, the Living History Festival will take place: 2000 years of French History. See you on June 25 and 26, 2022 in Marle (Aisne) to discover this historic event!

During the National Archeology Days everyone can participate in the organized activities. An excavation is organized especially for children, where they can search for pottery and Roman coins. You can then take these objects home with you to enjoy the day even more.

This one day course is a chance to try your hand at the craft of rush weaving in the inspirational setting of St Fagans National Museum of History. Working under the guidance of local craftswoman Clare Revera, you’ll learn the techniques required to make a rush table mat or two (or more if you're quick!).
