Join us in opening Denmark's largest Viking hall! The biggest Viking news in 1300 years! EXARC is extremely happy we can assist with streaming this event to all those unable to attend in person.
My name is Ronja Lau, I studied prehistoric archaeology at the Freie Universität Berlin and since my Bachelor degree I'm dealing with textile archaeology and experiments concerning textile research.
The Department of Archeology at the University of Zurich has an affiliated experimental archaeology group named ExperimentA (https://www.experimentarch.ch). The group runs experimental-archaeological projects, engages in public transfer (cf. images of the 2017 "Scientifica" science fair in Zurich), and is present in basic teaching modules of the study programs with experimental and empirical themes.
From autumn 2020, specific experimental teaching modules such as exercises with material techniques and chaînes opératoires (metal, flint, textiles, wood etc.) will be part of the study programs. Moreover, BA and MA students have the possibility to choose experimental-archaeological topics for their qualification thesis, and PhD students are invited to participate in interdisciplinary research projects, or launch their own initiatives.
Roar Ege was launched in 1984, and after more than 30 years on the water, has many sea miles under its keel. The years have, however, taken their toll on the ship. Roar Ege has undergone several major phases of repair – most recently in 2014. It was hoped this repair would keep Roar Ege afloat for several more years but by spring 2016, the ship had deteriorated to such an extent that it was clear that Roar Ege’s sailing days were over.
Travel back to 882 AD and meet Saxons and Vikings. Members of The Dark Ages Society will be offering a glimpse of life in the 9th century and an opportunity to explore parts of Saxon and Viking life with a range of ancient skills demonstrations and displays.
I have been studying and training in a range of Asian and European traditional martial arts for over 20 years. I run a number of medieval martial combat clubs (looking at combat as a martial art and not a sport) and also interested in earlier period combat of the Greeks and Romans.
Since the early '90s of the last century I've been a re-enactor of both the Viking period, and of WW2. In my Viking persona I show kids and their parents what kit a warrior would have, such as a mail shirt, helmet, shield and sword and what the cost of such equipement would be.
On November 14 and 15, 2020 the 5th edition of Fous d'Histoire Compiègne will take place at Le Tigre, Festival du Spectacle Historique et Marché de l'Histoire, which took over from Fous d'Histoire Pontoise which existed since 2006.
Beads shaped in fire
Opening times: 9:00 - 18:00
The Viking Museum Haithabu invites bead makers from home and abroad this weekend. As soon as they have set up their simple clay ovens in Haithabu, they will form glass beads on an open fire in front of visitors, as they did 1000 years ago in Haithabu.
Auch in diesem Jahr ist das Wikinger Museum Haithabu zum Saisonabschluss wieder Treffpunkt für Händler*innen und Handwerker*innen aus Deutschland, Dänemark und den angrenzenden Ländern.
