• Baking bread
  First, we learn interesting facts about the diet of people in the Neolithic Age. After grinding grain, we bake our own crispy bread rolls in a clay dome oven.
• Working with bones
  ur Paleolithic ancestors lived mainly from hunting. They wasted nothing: the meat was eaten, the fur was used to make clothing, the tendons were used for fastenings, and the bones were used to make many different objects, such as jewelry and tools. Together, we will make a bone amulet reminiscent of the jewelry worn by our ancestors.
• Wire jewellery
   In this workshop, we will learn interesting facts about the use and manufacture of jewelry in prehistoric times. Together, we will bend the wire into rings or pendants and then weave a necklace from wool yarn.
• Twisted wood
  e will discuss the use of wooden whistles and other instruments in the Stone Age. Together, we will sand down a piece of raw wood, drill a hole for the string with a flint blade, and decorate the piece of wood with earth colors. Finally, we will try out the whistles we have made ourselves.
• Pocket knife of the Stone Age
   We will learn interesting facts about the use of stone tools and blades in the Stone Age. Then we work on a piece of wood with flint, after which the flint blade is glued into the notch with birch pitch.
• Pottery
   In this workshop, we learn interesting facts about ceramics in prehistory. Together, we make our own clay pots using the coil or coil technique, as in the Jungstein Age, or shape thumb bowls.
