Arheologia pentru elevi. Încercări experimentale ca parte a activităților de pedagogie muzeală
Archaeology for students. Experimental tests as part of museum pedagogy

Summary/Abstract: Experimental archaeology, as an educational means, has become a particularly useful practice in museum institutions in Romania, although there is no tradition in this field. Here, we present activities of the History and Ethnography Museum in Târgu Neamț, where several experimental archaeology workshops were organised for pupils aged between 9 and 14 years. Participants were introduced to the prehistoric technologies of processing stone, producing ceramic vessels, archaeomettalurgy and processing wood and bone. The school children made various tools, household objects and decorations by carving and polishing, they moulded small clay pots, and they processed cereals using ancient methods.The workshops were held between 2016 and 2019, during which 200 students, divided into several groups, attended the practical activities. Some of the objects made by students were later used in educational activities in the schools.
