This volume on prehistoric tanning technology is the revised and expanded version of the dissertation submitted to Exeter University in 2015. It is noteworthy in that it places experiment at the heart of the entire research programme, thereby radically changing the perspective from which archaeological and ethnographic artefacts might be approached...

The Parco Cannetum proposes a historical habitat covering a period from the Protohistory to Middle Ages where it is possible to visit housing, defensive and religious buildings for learning purposes, both for tourists and students.

The project has been submitted to the Sovrintendenza ai beni archeologici del Piemonte, which welcomed the project. The Parco helds a covered area to be used for the learning when unfavorable climatic conditions occur. In the future, a new adequate new built area, to be used as museum and for learning, will present a collection of artefacts currently shown elsewhere.

The open-air museum called "The Land of Celts" (Země Keltů originally) is in the town Nasavrky, Pardubice region, Czechia. The goal of the project is to build a reconstruction of a Celtic oppidum, which could have existed approximately between 150 B.C. and 50 B.C. in Bohemia back then. All main buildings are based on the Czech archaeological excavations related to La Téne culture.

Buildings are structured into farmsteads typical for Celtic “towns”. There are five of them and each is dedicated to specific craft (blacksmith, pottery making, weaving, …) which also implies the richness of farmstead. For instance – there is a blacksmith’s farmstead which consist of Blacksmith’s house, forge, granary, henhouse, sunken-floored house of the blacksmith’s assistant.
