archaeological open-air museum

NGO "Chorna Galych", Ukraine, first visited Kernave in 2017; this was the second time the NGO participated in this event. The experience of this trip revealed to us new interesting aspects of cultural heritage interpretation methods and became an important starting point for changes in our own attitude to the matter. It was especially interesting to see how the festival and the reserve have changed.
 

Introduction

The archaeological material for this period is scarce locally and does not give enough data for reconstruction. Thus, the decision was made to experiment on building techniques of the various types of habitats encountered in archaeological excavations throughout the south-eastern quarter of France in the regions near Ardèche such as Gard and Herault. The building material was chosen to fit the local climate and resources, and to provide reconstructions that would be compatible with the archaeological context of southern Ardèche.
