Workshop: A Celtic treasure for kids - make your own little rainbow cups

A workshop with the experienced archaeotechnician Markus Gruner and employees of the State Museum. Under expert guidance, you learn together how to make such coins yourself. To ensure that the valuable rainbow cups are not lost, small leather bags are also made. Normally the shiny gold coins have to stay in the museum, but we make an exception on this day: every child can take their own treasure home as a souvenir in a small bag.

Guided tour: Traces of the Celts in Brandenburg

The Baitzer rainbow cup is the largest find of Celtic coins and the first Celtic gold find in Brandenburg. But how did these riches get to a settlement far away from the Celtic cultural area more than 2000 years ago? The archaeologist Reinhold Schulz MA addresses these and other questions in his tour. The participants also learn that other archaeological finds from the state of Brandenburg also point to a connection between Celts and early Germanic groups in Iron Age northern central Europe.

Guided tour: Bloomery and Rye Fields

This tour marks the start of our program for the European Archeology Days 2022. Since the contributions this year are all about the Celtic rainbow cups, this tour focuses on the chronological context of these coins - the pre-Roman Iron Age. In this tour, however, the participants will not only encounter iron objects. Bronze jewellery, spectacularly filled earth shafts, climate fluctuations and rye also belong to this period.
