For a week, everything revolves around the topic of jewellery and handicraft techniques from the Stone Age. During excavations, archaeologists repeatedly find pieces of jewellery made from a wide variety of materials, from simple limestone beads to magnificent amber necklaces.

The archaeologist Alexander Benn as "Uhldi" conveys in an impressive way how people made shapely jewellery from copper, amber, limestone, soapstone and jet and what they made of it. You will learn what the jewelry looked like back then and what meaning it had for the people.
