Dealing with the bow and arrow has archaeological, historical, technical, sporting and handicraft aspects. Over the course of the weekend, the basics of bow making and archery with traditional equipment are taught. Ready-to-use bows and arrows based on archaeological or ethnological models are produced under expert guidance.
Söhnke Raimann, archaeotechnician at the AFM, demonstrates the production of a ready-to-shoot bow and arrows.
With warming sparks and flames, the Oerlinghausen Archaeological Open-Air Museum will welcome you on this day. Söhnke Raimann uses many examples to show how lighting a fire worked in the days without matches and lighters and tells interesting stories about it. Experience how a spark becomes a cozy fire. 
Research by the Laboratory of Prehistory and Experimental Archaeology (LaPArS – Laboratorio di Preistoria e Archeologia Sperimentale) of the University of Sassari is orientated towards the study of cultural phenomena of recent Prehistory in the Western Mediterranean, with particular attention paid to insular archaeology and Sardinian Prehistory.
Along with scientific objectives, which are its principal purpose, the Laboratorio also serves to supplement the didactic resources of the university, through seminars and outdoor practical activities as well as through workshops. A third aim is to encourage contact between the scientific world and the general public, using methodological approaches such as Public Archaeology and Experimental Archaeology.

An interdisciplinary conference on the transformative power of fire.
Fire always leaves its mark and a wealth of information behind. Our aim is to bring together research on experimental archaeology, archaeomaterials, archaeobotany, anthracology, pyrotechnology, taphonomic investigations including burned bone, combustion features, or accidental burning.
We invite everyone interested in experimental archaeology to participate in a two-week International Camp of Experimental Archaeology, connected with a seminar presenting the state of art of this method in Poland and accompanying use-wear workshops.
Recent discussions about health, food safety and an awareness of vanishing traditions have resulted in an increasing interest in traditional foods and food heritage.
