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.

Whithorn is famous as the site of the earliest Christian settlement in Scotland, with evidence of Christian practice dating to the early 5th Century. However, research is increasingly turning to the context for the arrival of Christianity and the sophisticated Iron Age culture which preceded it.

Recent excavation has revealed an important settlement of roundhouses dating to approximately the mid 5th Century BC at nearby Black Loch of Myrton; the boggy site has preserved the timbers and gives some of the best evidence for Iron Age construction anywhere in Scotland.

Nazareth Village is an archaeological open-air museum that shows farm life in the Galilee like it could have been in the first century AD. The reconstruction chronology is as follows.

Phase I: Archaeology:
Beginning in 1997, Nazareth Village commissioned several archaeological excavations of agricultural installations – a wine press, watchtowers, terraces, and quarries – discovered on a hillside less than 500 meters from the original site of Nazareth. These installations were established as dating from the Early Roman Period, making the site itself an historical treasure, preserving invaluable links with the farming and building traditions of First Century Nazareth.
