This weekend Archeon is all about textiles, leather and clothing. There are various special demonstrations and activities.

In prehistoric times we weave with vegetable fibers, such as nettle, flax and tree bark. In addition, wool is dyed and we spin and weave with wool. You can also learn how to sprang this weekend. This is the oldest known way of braiding.

Working with a bow and arrow has archaeological, historical, technical, sporting and craft aspects. During the weekend, the basics of bow making and archery with traditional equipment will be taught. Ready-to-use bows and arrows are manufactured under expert guidance based on archeological or ethnological models.

For the first time, the European Stone Age Gathering will be organised at the Hunebedcentrum. The international festival takes place from July 27 to August 2. During this event, Stone Age enthusiasts from all over Europe come together to live in the Stone Age, to exchange knowledge and experience and to show their skills.

Every five years since 1973, all specialists of the European Mesolithic gather in a city for a major international congress. in 2020, this will be Meso'2020 - 10h International Conference on the Mesolithic in Europe, Toulouse (France). The conference will have a session on experimental archaeology. 

TraceoLab is excited to announce that the 7th CONEXP is coming to Liège from October 22-25, 2025! This congress is dedicated to all aspects of experimental archaeology, encompassing all periods, materials, and research questions. Save the date, and more information will follow soon!

Discover how our ancestors made tools out of stones in the ground with flint knapper and author Bob Turner. Learn to understand flint as a material and how to knap and work it to make ancient tools. Discover the talents and skills of ancient Britons and go home with a flint tool you have made yourself!

An interdisciplinary conference on the transformative power of fire.

Fire always leaves its mark and a wealth of information behind. Our aim is to bring together research on experimental archaeology, archaeomaterials, archaeobotany, anthracology, pyrotechnology, taphonomic investigations including burned bone, combustion features, or accidental burning. 

We invite everyone interested in experimental archaeology to participate in a two-week International Camp of Experimental Archaeology, connected with a seminar presenting the state of art of this method in Poland and accompanying use-wear workshops.

Recent discussions about health, food safety and an awareness of vanishing traditions have resulted in an increasing interest in traditional foods and food heritage.
