I am an archaeobotanist specialised in the anatomical identification of archaeological wood from Palaeolithic (Europe) and prehispanic archaeological contexts (Canary Islands).
A wild seed propagator and gardener (such as myself) relies on years of close human-plant interaction. The adaptability of domesticated and many wild plants to human economy and behaviour has always thrilled me. When I first read archaeological reports of frequent and large amounts of prehistoric charred seeds that were dumped in the ground I was bemused. It contrasted starkly with the care and sensitivity I use in the processes of seed harvest, drying and selection. So I started reading more and also charring seeds myself.

The MAMUZ Schloss Asparn/Zaya will open the new ARCHÄO BASIS on Saturday, August 20, 2022 - a unique journey of discovery through 40,000 years of human history in Central Europe.
I have a BA in Archaeology from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Early Prehistory and Human Origins from the University of York.
I am an archaeology undergraduate student at Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás (Goiás, Brazil). My studies started back in 2019.
The Hungarian National Museum was founded in 1802 and is the national museum for the history, art and archaeology of Hungary. It’s collections, exhibitions and affiliates present an overall view of the archaeology and history of the country.
Until 2022 archaeological research, excavation work and presentation were assigned to two separate units within the National Museum. One of these was the Department of Archaeology, which conducts excavations and research of outstanding national significance (like for eg. Vértesszőlős, Kölked-Feketekapu, Heténypuszta, Zalavár, Doboz, Feldebrő, Gyula Castle, etc.). In addition to their research, the members of the department take part in university teaching and in the organisation of scientific life.
During this time, an interesting offer of shows awaits you. You will get to know people's lives from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages. You will also see folk craftsmen. The Archaeological Reserve is a vast area that allows you to spend time in charming corners of reconstructed settlements, surrounded by nature, in the immediate vicinity of a lake and a rich tree stand.
Guided tour
Over two days, you can experience the everyday life of our ancestors from the Paleolithic to the early Middle Ages in the archaeological open-air area: authentic camp life, exciting exhibition fights, demonstrations of historical crafts, hands-on stations, music and much more create a unique spectacle.
