Prehistoric Clothing
In such a long age, in a very different world in these millennia, what do we know about what we were wearing then?
Forging is not just for strong men - with the active and professional help of our employees, older children can try out the forge and forge themselves.
It is an open activity without registration, however, depending on the number of visitors there may be a waiting time. Suitable for children and adolescents from age 11.
Research by the Laboratory of Prehistory and Experimental Archaeology (LaPArS – Laboratorio di Preistoria e Archeologia Sperimentale) of the University of Sassari is orientated towards the study of cultural phenomena of recent Prehistory in the Western Mediterranean, with particular attention paid to insular archaeology and Sardinian Prehistory.
Along with scientific objectives, which are its principal purpose, the Laboratorio also serves to supplement the didactic resources of the university, through seminars and outdoor practical activities as well as through workshops. A third aim is to encourage contact between the scientific world and the general public, using methodological approaches such as Public Archaeology and Experimental Archaeology.
ARKE Experimental Archaeology is a cultural association that operates in Italy in the field of the enhancement, promotion and dissemination of the historical-archaeological heritage. Our primary objective is to facilitate the approach to the cultural heritage through the direct involvement of the users: we propose scale and real reconstructions, living history activities and practical laboratories that simulate craft activities. Each of our operations is preceded by the analysis of available scientific data.
The association was founded in 2004 by members who share an interest in archaeology and practice it at a professional and amateur level. We are technicians, graduates and specialized in archaeology with many years of experience in the field of study, research, promotion and promotion. We have collaborations on a national scale with universities, schools, museums, public and private institutions that have involved us for educational activities, exhibitions, museum displays and reproductions.
The mission of the Albion Experimental Archaeology Studio (AEAS) is to provide a venue for experimental archaeology in the pyrotechnical crafts, teach and mentor students, and perform public outreach. Experimental archaeology is a fast-growing field that allows for a wide range of investigative techniques and research questions. From potting to smelting to stone-working, experiments yield a tremendous amount of information on manufacturing processes and technical knowledge of ancient peoples. The finished products may also be used in practical and experiential studies, from cutting hides with stone knives to recreating dining practices.
The founder of AEAS, Dr Mara Horowitz of Purchase College, SUNY, used experience from archaeological fieldwork and experimental archaeology in Neolithic, Chalcolithic, Bronze and Iron Age Cyprus and Turkey to establish a venue for experimental work in pyrotechnical craft s in the United States located on a 4.5 acre former farm. Based in Danbury, CT, (70km north of NYC and connected by train) the studio has both modern and traditional pottery technologies from a professional electric kiln and power wheel to a custom-made kick wheel, outdoor pit kiln and improvised updraft kilns.

Dear colleagues,
Due to the Covid-19 epidemic, the deadline for submission of abstracts (communications, posters or public demonstrations) was extended to 26 June 2020. We are aware of the current difficulties of many researchers. This report aims to enable as many people as possible to participate in this important scientific meeting to experimental archaeology.
Hello everyone! I am a PhD student at the Eurasian National University (Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan). My speciality is archaeology and the topic of my research is related to experimental archaeology.
