The construction site on November
The archeoParc closed for visitors on 6 November and now the construction site is ready for winter too: the last works for this year are done and the houses ready to outlast until springtime, when works will continue…
The larch-shingle roof of the house Villandro Plunacker was finished just in time.
Also the house Parma-via Guidorossi is winterproof. The roof and the missing side walls will be added in springtime.
The house Brescia-San Polo was the first to be completed and seems to deal well with the first snow and ice.

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. Please help us by signing to the following link! Thank you very much.
