The point of my interest is Northeast Greenlandic archaeology: Independence, Saqqaq (a settlement in Western Greenland), Dorset culture (a Paleo-Inuit culture, lasting from 500 BC to between 1000 and 1500 AD).

The open-air museum Heuneburg Keltenstadt shows reconstructed buildings on the Heuneburg plateau. The Heuneburg itself is a prehistoric hill site at the upper course of the Danube between Ulm and Sigmaringen. It is one of the most well-known Celtic sites in Central Europe. The main occupation was during the 6th century BC., when a Celtic prince site was located here. The hill fort was surrounded by several burial mounds containing luxurious grave goods. Based on the results of current research projects the Heuneburg may be correlate with the Celtic city Pyrene mentioned by the Greek author Herodotus.

Everything which is shown is precisely reconstructed after a long and detailed study on archaeological findings of the chosen area.

The Official Goal of our Institute is to showcase the Celtic tribe of Volcae Tectosages from the III centuries BC, the Germanic tribes between the 2nd century BC and the 2nd century AD, especially the Chatti tribe, and the Celt-Iberian warriors who were part of Hannibal Barca's army when he invaded Italian Penisula in the 218 BC. We show Living History from 2008 with weaponry, clothes, wool working, hygiene tools, potteries and all things to characterize the three periods we portray.
