Archaeology Theme Weekend: Clothing and Textiles
Archaeology theme weekend - clothing and textiles
Clothes make the man! This proverb certainly also applied to the Celts. Fabrics and clothing from the Iron Age are therefore at the centre of the two theme days. Experience how fabrics were once made and dyed. Let yourself be introduced to the art of tablet weaving and learn about the working methods of textile archaeology at the information stand. Garments made from original finds will give you an idea of how the reconstruction of Celtic clothing is far more than just a craft challenge.
For children and adults, the Keltenwelt am Glauberg is offering an extensive hands-on programme on ancient textile techniques this weekend. For example, you can bring along an old item of clothing and dye it blue on site. You can also practise board weaving or spin a thread with hand spindles.
Participants who participated in the project 1qmlein.de Those who take part will receive free entry on the day of the event and can process their linen with us.

Theme Weekend Archaeology: Iron
The ability to extract iron and steel from inconspicuous lumps of ore triggered a huge surge in innovation in the Iron Age. This weekend we will be devoting ourselves to the technology of iron production in the blast furnace. Specialists will be gathering in the museum garden of the Celtic World on the Glauberg to provide insights into the fascinating world of iron production and processing. The resulting pig iron will be further processed and objects will be forged just like they were 2000 years ago. The event for the whole family will be rounded off with hands-on activities on the subject of iron.
