Abstract

A workshop has been built at the school camp at Costesti (near one of the Dacian Fortress, from the Orastie Mountains - a UNESCO site). This combines experimental archaeology, with the need for education and protection of the historical monuments. With the help of volunteers this 3D project has come to life. With donated materials there are now reconstructed artefacts reflecting the Dacian and Roman civilizations, a pottery kiln, a forge and a potter's wheel.
