A three-day course in processing and working bone, antler, and other hard faunal materials using prehistoric techniques, held in Schramberg, Germany. Participants learn to create functional tools such as needles, awls, and harpoon points, as well as ornamental objects, using stone-age production methods guided by experimental archaeology specialists. Led by Markus Klek of PALÄOTECHNIK, the workshop draws on over thirty years of research into European Paleolithic and Neolithic material culture.

For more than thirty years, Paläotechnik has offered an intensive engagement with prehistoric material culture, living history, and heritage interpretation - in theory and practice.
Our archaeotechnical work focuses on European prehistory- from the late Paleolithic to the Neolithic. Archaeological evidence supplemented by ethnographic data allow for a fact-based reconstruction of stone age material culture.
Animal skin processing and tanning technology, as well as related fields like garment production and sewing technology, belong to our core competences.
Paläotechink offers detailed know-how in producing prehistoric replicas and authentic clothing.
Our expertise is valued by private individuals, film productions, museums, and other institutions.
