Many archaeological finds inspire the public simply because of their fascinating design or their age. However, it is often inconspicuous details that provide groundbreaking new insights during interdisciplinary investigations and experiments.
"News from the Archaeo-Lab" therefore shows outstanding new finds from South Baden and at the same time answers the question "How do we know that?"
- How do tree rings from trees help to date millennia-old objects?
- How far does an arrow fly?
- Can the earth be "x-rayed"?
- What are isotopes and why do they tell us details about migration and technology transfer?
- What is a pinhole rod used for?
- Do raw materials have a "fingerprint"?
- How can pollen contribute to climate research?

And the best thing is: visitors can try out for themselves how modern archaeology works.
