Experimental Archaeology Conference World Tour

In March our project partners Danube University Krems and Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen Nuremberg presented the ongoing reconstruction of the 4th century lusoria-type ship at the 2021 EAC12 - the Experimental Archaeology Conference World Tour, which focused 80 experiments from all around the globe, from Australia to Asia, Africa, Europe, North and South America. Parallel to that World Tour conference the MAMUZ museum in Asparn an der Zaya in Austria started a touring exhibition that will take a number of archaeological experiments as videos and accompanying replicas around the world during the next years. We contributed a video to both the conference and the exhibition and some of the replica tools needed for the construction of the Danuvina Alacris are currently on display at the MAMUZ – a nail, an adze, a drill and a measuring bar – in the picture photographed on the shores of the Danube before being transferred to the museum in Asparn.
