Bones, legs, horns, antlers and teeth - it's wonderful what you can use from animals. When there was no plastic, for example, combs and buttons were made from antlers and were accordingly expensive.
Horn is elastic and becomes soft when heated - not only bow ends are made from it, but all kinds of everyday devices.
Viking Week
Activities for all ages! Meet Vikings from across the world showing their crafts and selling their Viking Age replica goods. Vikings arriving early at Foteviken for the market will use the Viking town as a gathering spot for craftsmen. Here they exchange knowledge and teach various crafting techniques.
Something exciting is happening this weekend!
We are teaming up with Jorvik Viking Museum in York England for their annual Viking event. This year it will take place online with 6 days of exclusive Viking content and ending with a live event this Saturday, and that’s where we come in!!
Warownia Jomsborg is a replica of Medieval Vikings’ gord which is situated in the heart of Warsaw. Visitors can get a complete picture and realistic experience of how everyday life of Slavs and Vikings living in Early Middle Ages looked like.
Originally, Jomsborg was a Vikings’ hamlet, where they settled between VIII-IX century. It is historically significant to Poland, because Jomsborg warriors were fighting as mercenaries for Bolesław Chrobry, the first Polish king. That’s why the main mission of Warownia is to share knowledge about national history.
Following the Potter’s Wheel Conference in November, we will have a potter’s chat open to anybody. Discussion is open about any pottery related subject, wheel throwing, clays, ethnography, but also pottery trade, using ceramics, breakage and their archaeology.
Archaeological experimentation is fundamentally a methodological tool used in fundamental research and has now been established, in an increasingly consistent way, in the fields of formal and informal training.
The CTR conference is moving online - and participation/registration is now FREE! Textiles, tools, sciences, archaeology, history, fashion....You have until the end of this month to send us your abstract at ctr@hum.ku.dk.
Burials are particularly significant findings for archaeologists. Although it may sound contradictory at first, graves, but also the deceased themselves, provide experts with a great deal of information about life long ago.
Within the last two decades, a "scene" has developed across Europe which combines elements from archaeological engineering and historical representation to sophisticated archaeological reconstruction for a hobby or commercial activity.
