Ship ahoy!
Already prehistoric people constructed boats to cross rivers and other waters. Beside the rests of wooden canoes, archeologists have also found little boats made from bark. Who knows, maybe they were toys … And you, ready for a trip with the canoe and to make a small wooden boat by yourself?

Edizione aurina – Photo exhibition by Konrad Laimer
-
- private, photo: Konrad Laimer
This years’ photo exhibition at the archeoParc cafeteria, Edizione aurina, is all about copper. Already 5000 years ago this material was processed to jewelry, tools and arms. The pictures shown on the tables were taken in Val Aurina valley during the workshops “Metallgeruch/metal odour” (2001-2003) organized in collaboration with the Moore College of Art Philadelphia. The goldsmith Konrad Laimer and the stonesculptor Daniel Peter showed how to work with copper from the St. Ignaz gallery (Predoi in Val Aurina valley). In his laboratory in Naturno Konrad Laimer still creates copper jewelry using simplest materials and techniques.

Ötzi Glacier Tour with Tamara Lunger on 30 August
Every Tuesday from June to April, guided glacier tours take place to the discovery site of Ötzi, the Iceman, at 3,210 m (10,532 ft.) above sea level. The Ötzi Glacier Tour crosses along the main ridge of the Alps, an area of outstanding natural beauty, goes by the discovery site of the Stone Age mummy, the Similaun Refuge and down through the Tisen Valley. Who wants to experience this special day round trip in special company can’t miss out the appointment on 30 August, when Tamara Lunger is going to attend the tour. The thirty-year-old is one of the most popular extreme mountain climbers from South Tyrol. At the latest since Tamara Lunger made it to summit of K2 two years ago without the use of oxygen and without the help of Sherpas, she has been among the elite in the world of mountain sports.

Future of Archeological Heritage Offices in Italy
The Italian Ministry of Culture is doing radical reform of the system which protects the cultural heritage. Without any internal discussion the structure of the Ministry is rapidly changing, with the latest decree the Archaeological Heritage Offices are to be eliminated. We are furthermore worried about the future of the rescue archaeology as the code of the public contract is under review without involvement of the technicians of the Ministry.
