Initiation à l'archéologie

Immerse yourself in a vivid exploration of the prehistory and history of the Basque Country, from the first inhabitants of the Iraty highlands through the Middle Ages. This activity invites you to understand how archaeologists reconstruct the past based on the traces left behind by ancient civilizations.

The experience takes on a hands-on and sensory dimension as you handle archaeological artifacts: flint, polished axes, iron knives, and ancient pottery. These hands-on activities provide a better understanding of our ancestors’ daily lives and the evolution of techniques over time.

In this place where traces of the Neolithic era are still visible, archaeology becomes a living experience—both sensory and immersive—directly connected to the landscape.

Ages 8 and up - By reservation only.
