The Northern Palaeolithic and Evolutionary Anthropology (NOPE) Network will be running a free virtual conference in April 2022, celebrating the exciting ongoing research in Palaeolithic archaeology and Palaeoanthropology at northern Universities in the UK and beyond!

ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ invites you to a session during the ICOM General Conference in Prague. We are in a unique position where our teaching of the past offers our visitors lessons for the future; we are more relevant than ever. How to develop the strength of open-air museums by building partnerships with other organisations?

The Department of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology is proud to announce that the 3rd Experimental Archaeology Student Symposium, will be hosted by the University of Liverpool in June 2022 in partnership with ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ.

Session at EAA2022

Experimental archaeology in its broadest sense is instrumental to our current understanding of technology, structures, and lifeways of hunter-gatherer humans throughout the Pleistocene and Holocene.

Lecture on the most groundbreaking results in DNA research
by Eveline Altena – PhD LUMC – Ancient DNA Specialist/ archaeologist

DNA research on archaeological human remains has impacted archaeology quite a bit in recent years, so much so that it has been cited as part of the third scientific revolution in archaeology that is currently taking place.

On Monday, March 7, 2022, SAXO Archeology will hold a one-day webinar similar to the well-attended seminar "New research in old iron" last year. The aim of the seminar is to examine new trends in Danish and Scandinavian experimental archeology - through concrete examples but also through untested theories and methods.

A lecture by Prof. Dr. Annelou van Gijn. Her research focuses on prehistoric technology, ancient crafts and the reconstruction of the cultural biography of objects using experimental archeology and microscopy. She is one of the leading specialists in microwear and as such participates in several international projects.

Get to know one of the oldest human crafts. Bow making is a very special kind of woodworking. Working on the annual growth ring brings the wood to new life and will change the way you look at wood as a material. Under expert guidance, the participants make their own bows from ash or hickory (including string and arrows).
