On the occasion of the European Archaeology Days, Asnapio offers visitors the opportunity to discover the professions of archaeology and their opportunities. Archaeologists will present their disciplines to young and old: carpology, ceramology and anthropology will no longer have secrets for them. The archeo-ceramist from Atelier Figulina will offer a firing of large-sized ceramics and demonstrations of turning with a stick lathe.
The focus will be on archaeo-zoology as part of a more artistic project entitled 'Our roots are trees'. With the family, parents and children will be invited by the collective "Les Yeux d'Argos", to create animals in glued wooden strips. On-site registration. Animals that will then be hung in a park tree by the lumberjack of the city, thus reconstituting the Darwin tree according to the evolution of species. The opportunity to talk about the theory of the same name, currently questioned by scientists.
And to go even further, "Zooscope" will invite all visitors to re-discover their environment through the eyes of an animal by becoming aware of different visual perceptions.
It will not be necessary to miss the "emotions" sequence of the day: dexter cow, donkeys, Ouessant sheep, mini-goats, giant rabbits and poultry of all kinds will wait for the youngest for sessions of caresses.
Children will also be able to learn archaeological excavation techniques, the study of material, archaeological drawing, flint reassembly. Something, perhaps, to create vocations.
