Lacustrian village of Gletterens
Gletterens is preparing to welcome his “annual prehistoric gathering” on the site of Lacustrian village of Gletterensfrom July 27 to August 3. At the edge of Lake Neuchâtel, this “living laboratory” will aim to revive forgotten know-how, such as flint size, bison skin tanning, basketry, pottery or the manufacture of a stele, like that present at the Petit-Chasseur, in Sion.
Intended for families as well as curious passage, the entertainment program aims for real contact with prehistoric gestures. Activities will take place every day from 1 p.m., including guided tour of the village, demonstration of fire ignition by friction, sagaie throwing and various creative workshops.
“Time travel” on 1is august
The 1is August will mark the highlight of this edition, by offering a “time journey”. Three key periods of prehistory will revive through a more true than life reconstruction of the Mesolithic, the Neolithic and the Bronze Age. A professional mediator will describe gestures, tools and social postures, guiding the spectator and helping his interpretation, scene by scene.
The objective for the organizers? Offering the framework of a “lived archeology” where to see, understand and feel allows the transmission of memory.
More information is available on the site from the lake village.
