In the Middle Ages it was popular to hunt with falcons if you were a rich nobleman or woman. It was a favorite leisure activity and is seen pictured in many simultaneous illustrations.
During the season, we focus on craftsmanship in the Middle Ages. In selected theme weekends we take different crafts during loving treatment.
At Pentecost (8 - 10 June) we go in depth with the textile craft in the Middle Ages.

The mission of the BLDAM is the fulfilment of the public service remit for preservation and dissemination of the archaeological and historical heritage of the federal state of Brandenburg.
Re-opened in 2008 the State Museum of Archaeology is an extracurricular place of learning and the most important cultural ambassador of the state Brandenburg.

We are a pottery center and part of our activities is dealing with replicas. We provide researches of ancient pottery techniques and use of the ceramic items. We are a nonprofit private institution.
Pottery Center Bahor, Institute for the Development and Promotion of Pottery - we have a unique place, an outdoor place where we build replicas prehistoric kilns. We work with students of Archeology Faculty of Ljubljana- to provide practice on ceramic themes. Our team uses the facilities to offering a wide diversity of courses on material culture, ancient technology, and experimental archaeology, but not only for adults- we have a lot of schools, pupils to work with.
I am focused on food and cooking, mostly in the medieval Islamic world, but with occasional investigations around the Mediterranean.
Last year we began our season with a pilgrimage – it was a succes so we are planning another one this year!
Many heard about the big holy pilgrimage paths as Santiago De Compostella and of course Rome and Jerusalem. But there was a lot of other places, also in Denmark, where you could make your pilgrimage to.
I am an archaeological scientist interested in ancient labour division in past and traditional societies. I study the impact on health of ancient crafting activities. I am particularly interested in 'dusty' crafts such (as pottery, pigments, dyes making, textile production).
