On the Hunt

Workshop
Target group
ages 9 & above
Content

Stone Age people lived by hunting and gathering in groups of up to 20 people. They knew how to adapt to changing climatic conditions and develop appropriate hunting weapons and hunting strategies. What about your hunting skills? Test your marksmanship with the spear and the spear sling.

Procedure

The workshop begins with a short introduction to the Stone Age hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Some handouts will be provided. Afterwards you will learn how to throw a spear and use a spear sling behind the Stone Age workshop. Most of the programme takes place outside. Please remember to wear appropriate clothing. In heavy rain, you will engrave hunting scenes on slate slabs with flint stones. You can take the slates home with you.
