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.

Handicraft knowledge and skills have always been acquired through practical instruction. Showing and explaining, demonstrating and imitating are essential methods to convey - and understand - the manufacture of a wide variety of objects.

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?
Forging is not just for strong men - with the active and professional help of our employees, older children can try out the forge and forge themselves.
It is an open activity without registration, however, depending on the number of visitors there may be a waiting time. Suitable for children and adolescents from age 11.
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.
