Neolithic

Welcome to the wellness center “Zum Steinzeitkamm”. Here you can experience body and beauty care using methods that are thousands of years old. Forget chia seeds and Goji berries: we show you which superfoods have already been growing with us since the Stone Age and what ingredients our Ancestors used for beauty treatments - natural and soothing. Let yourself be pampered!

Call for Papers

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.
