From March 18, 2023, the MAMUZ Museum Mistelbach will be showing the special exhibition CELTS. The term "Celts" has always stimulated people's imagination. From antiquity to the present day, they have been portrayed as fearsome warriors, "noble savages", skilled craftsmen or custodians of secret knowledge.

Experimental archaeology has been a core research and teaching methodology at Sheffield since the early-1990s. Crossing archaeomaterials and environmental archaeology, experimental investigations are a key component of our work and have offered a multifaceted approach to our research. We integrate experimental methodologies and practice into our taught modules to inform interpretation as part of understanding our past. 

Our research covers a vast number of archaeological periods from prehistory to recent history, working closely with modern practitioners to inform our work in a collaborative environment.

The 2,500th Anniversary of the Battle of Plataea, 26-31 July 2022. Recreating the Cavalry

Introduction

Delayed by the pandemic, the 2022 event was organised with the support of the local community, the Ephorate of Antiquities, and the re-enactment group ‘Hoplologia’ lead by Christian Cameron.  Using re-enactors to commemorate their Classical history was, for a variety of political and religious reasons, an important step for the Greek authorities to take. Christian gathered around ninety very experienced and passionate re-enactors and reconstructors in Plataea from at least eight different counties, at their own expense.
