 The programme of the event |
ARCHEOPARK IRON ROOTS
Since 2001 in the area belonging to the Nature and Technology Museum in Starachowice there has been a reconstructed stanowisko dymarskie....... site presenting production workshop discovered by K. Bielenina (site: Starachowice 1). One can see here a reconstructed ancient technological line:
smoke furnaces, charcoal kiln for baking wypalania charcoal, ore roasting prażak rudy, entrance to the mine tunnel and a cabin of ancient metallurgists.
The settlement located in a canyon surrounded by plants, isolated from the modern space. It created an exceptional atmosphere of a meeting with the everyday life of metallurgists from the Roman times. Especially for the purposes of the Iron Roots event the Archeopark construction was started in 2004 offering conditions similar to the once existing metallurgical settlement where now numerous reconstructions are prepared to be used for various workshops and presentations. Archeopark was located in the south-eastern part of the museum, close to the so-called Lower Technological Canal, surrounded by dumps covered with trees but rich in various types of iron ore once used by the Blast Furnace Complex in Starachowice. The inspiration for the creation of such a place were results of archeological researches carried out in our region as well as European centeres of experimental archeology functioning in the form of 'open-air museums'.
Below you will find some photographs from places that inspired us - a center of experimental archeology in Lejre (Denmark).
