Neolithic

Our knowledge of the use of plant fibres to make different kinds of utensils, such as baskets and cordage, in
prehistory and protohistory is uneven, conditioned greatly by the conservation of those types of materials. In the
Iberian Peninsula, which can be described as dry Europe, the preservation of this kind of archaeological evidence

New approaches in (studying) the prehistoric past

This event will be a one-off in celebration of the achievements and legacy of one of Britain’s most influential archaeologists, Professor John Coles, who was sadly lost to us in 2020. It will be organised around four themes that were dear to his heart: Heritage Management, Wetland Archaeology, Experimental Archaeology and Rock Art.

With the extended special exhibition, MAMUZ Schloss Asparn/Zaya is dedicated to its core area: experimental archaeology. Exciting and unusual experiments by renowned archaeologists from all over the world will be presented, through which insightful

An afternoon for horse lovers with a wide range of activities.

Animals have accompanied humans since the Palaeolithic Age. An archaeozoologist explains what animal bones reveal about Neolithic farmers and their livestock.

Public participation in archaeological projects is becoming ever more essential and experimental archaeology is an excellent way of reaching out: doing things together and exploring the various technological choices of the past creates a scientific community in which both scientists and the general public can benefit.
