Description

Partner: - Work: Are you interested in archaeology and historical craftsmanship? Then this is the camp for you. You can participate in setting up the archaeological open-air museum â¿¿Zeiteninselâ¿ (Times Island). Numerous settlement remains from all prehistoric cultural periods have been discovered in the Lahn valley near to the Niederweimar and Argenstein areas. The extensive archaeological evidence proves that there has been a constant settlement in the region for millennia. The first archaeological open-air museum on the history of settlements in the region of Hessen is being set up here in order to display the rich archaeological discoveries. There will be 5 stations on the grounds of the museum, each dedicated to a certain time period. You will aid the completion of a Germanic residential stable from the early Roman Empire (around the birth of Jesus Christ). It is likely that a large family or clan lived in this type of house, almost 30m in length and around 7m in width, together with their animals. With professional guidance from a team on-site, you will help with the construction of the house. More specifically, you will be making walls out of wooden wicker and then plastering them with clay. There could also be an opportunity for you to take part in certain workshops (such as archery, bronze casting, etc.). Accomodation and food: You will be staying in a local youth centre in Wolfshausen. The group will prepare and cook meals together. Location and leisure: You will be stayin.g in Wolfshausen, a district of Weimar (Lahn). It is very rural, but there is a train station in Niederweimar from which you can reach the university town of Marburg, with its numerous attractions, in just 7 minutes. Besides this, major cities such as Frankfurt and Kassel are also very easily reachable by train. If you havenâ¿¿t had your fill of archaeology after working, you could also visit the â¿¿RÃ¶merkastell Saalburgâ¿ archaeological open-air museum near Frankfurt. Requirements: The work involved could sometimes be physically demanding. This camp designed for participants who are interested in archaeology and historical craftsmanship.
