On the occasion of the European Heritage Days 2018, the Asociation. Paleoes - eXperimentalTech ArcheoDrome o organises a day entirely dedicated to experimental archeology, aimed at both adults and children, to explain experimental archaeology, with a view to inclusion and participation.

The 15th Experimental Archeology Course is celebrated this year 2019 between September 13 and 17. The place is the Student Residence "Florencio Repollés", located in C / Sástago s / n, in the Bajoaragonesa town of Caspe (Zaragoza, Spain).

Treewright is a modern translation of the Old English treowwyrhta. The treewright's job was to manage and convert wood into timber, through splitting, hewing and dressing the raw logs using wooden wedges and a variety of specialist axes. 

Food, that magic word. Today it's so easy to get it, just visit the nearest supermarket or restaurant. But how did people eat earlier? What did all the living in the prehistoric and the Middle Ages mean? Tradespoeple from far distant counties go back thousands of years to the Krumpenowe Krupka Village - this time to hold the Pasta past. Come with them to taste their history!

Join us for a fun, hands-on, informative course about the skills required in experimental archaeology.  The Mesolithic Resource Group will take you through a full programme including shelter, cordage, tools, foraging and much much more.

This ten week course costs £150.  Booking is essential, and are taken for the whole course. £45.00 deposit to secure your place. 

The 83rd conference of the Northwest German Association for Archaeological Research will take place in Heide, Holstein (DE). One of their sessions is particularly interesting: the meeting of the workgroup „archaeological museums” of the German Museum Association. This conference will be in German.
