Already for a long period of time, the Naturhistorische Gesellschaft Nürnberg e.V. (NHG), has been active in the region of the municipality Roth with many excavations showing the continuous habitation of the region since Neolithic times. Fritz Loy was active in the NHG and initiated in 1991 the building of a Hallstatt period type dwelling based on a nearby find in Untermainbach (now Schwabach) in Mittelfranken. The original house used to be part of a village like setting.
The archaeological faculty of the University of Århus is situated in the old mansion Moesgård. It is well located, away from the city but not too far and surrounded by a forest like park adjacent to the beach. The 18th century Manor House of Moesgård is also home to an important archaeological and ethnographic museum. The permanent exhibition presents many unique archaeological finds from prehistoric Denmark.
The Globe, or better put 'the International Shakespeare Globe Centre (ISGC)' is more than a construction of a theatre, the way it might have appeared in Shakespearian times. It has a continuing experimental role in both acting and today's society.
The ideas of how lake dwellings were like have shifted dramatically during the last century. In the Jura area in France, two lakes near each other were found out to reveal a large quantity of relatively undisturbed material on those dwellings. A fight begun between the archaeologists and those who wanted to make nice tourist beaches out of these lakes.
In 1938, roadworks were undertaken on the northern slope leading to the important medieval Lanhoso Castle and the Nossa Senhora do Pilar sanctuary. Here, they uncovered a castro, used from the Late Bronze Age up until the Roman Era. This hill controlled an important area of the Ave valley, the connections between the central area of the Bracari territory to the Barroso high plane. Various expensive metal artefacts were uncovered which now are on display at the “Museu D. Diogo de Sousa” in Braga. The hill fort was classified as a Public Interest Site in 1940.
For a BBC movie about Lough Gur, one of the Neolithic houses was reconstructed but already in 1990 was long gone. Nothing reminded of the reconstructed dwelling (Ahrens 1980, 91-92). The Visitor centre itself is still operating, as part of Shannon Developments.
Bealtaine is a project of the Luxemburg Guide and Scout Movement (LGS) and the Forest Management, supported by among others Archeosite d'Aubechies in Belgium. It is chiefly about learning children (7 – 23 years old) to appreciate the need to protect the environment. The main focus for the Scouting Centre in Neihaischen has always been environmental education.
A direct comparison is made between the exposure to nature of present day aboriginal people of Oceania or Native Americans on the one side and our ancestors the Celts on the other side.
During the archaeological expedition organized by Moldova State University in June and July 2007, a team formed by the members of the Archaeology Seminar, under the surveillance of the director of the “Thracology” Scientific Lab, dr. Andrei Nicic, have organized the Centre of Experimental Archaeology. The main purpose of this project was to make a collection of pottery vases after the analogies of those from the “Cozia-Saharna” and getic cultures.
EXARC is the international organisation of Archaeological Open Air Museums and other facilities involved in Experimental Archaeology. It is their aim to establish a high standard of both scientific research and public presentation. The idea of international exchange of knowledge, human resources, publications and facsimiles is to improve the quality of work
for all associated members.
EXARC is established in 2001 and Roeland Paardekooper is one of the three founding members and at present runs the secretariat.
