This years experimental archaeology workshop brings You some completely new  things. This year You'll discover how humans in prehistory ate. How much effort did he need to procure and prepare of his food and which tools did he use for that purpose. Which ceramics did they make and bake so they could cook their food and which weapons did he use for hunting. Also, this year brings You festival way of workshop. Every day we'll have several groups which will be thematically dressed in neolithic clothes and will show to You how flint tools where made, how cetamics where made and how bone tools where made.
