Life During the Ice Age
From The Observatory
A living history event at the Didaktische Ausstellung in Chur, Switzerland, demonstrating daily survival strategies during the European Ice Age. Through hands-on demonstrations, experimental archaeologist Markus Klek illustrates how Paleolithic people crafted stone and bone tools, processed animal skins for clothing and shelter, and adapted to harsh glacial environments. The presentation draws on three decades of PALÄOTECHNIK's research into European Paleolithic material culture, offering visitors direct engagement with reconstructed Ice Age technologies.

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.
