Stone Age hunters, farmers and shepherds - archaeological exhibition

The exhibition will feature artefacts including objects of daily use, weapons and working tools, and ornaments.  In the form of information boards, films and computer animations, issues will be presented which will constitute a valuable supplement to the exhibited monuments: among others, the problem of ethnogenesis and the origin of Homo sapiens sapiens, as well as wonderful manifestations of cave art and figural representations of women.

Individual sections of the exhibition will present artefacts related to everyday life, settlement, the development of hunting, agriculture and pastoral lifestyle, as well as funerary customs and beliefs. Approximately 150 artefacts will be on display. On display will be flint and stone working tools as well as objects of everyday use and weapons, including: axes, arrowheads, javelins, objects made of animal bone and antlers, and clay products. Among the exhibits, a special category of artefacts will be items of burial equipment.  The exhibition will also include excellent copies of flint artefacts by archaeologist Piotr Dmochowski.

The exhibition will be an attractive point in the implementation of a school history curriculum concerning the origins of history and the earliest past of human culture.

The exhibition is accompanied by an exhibition catalogue containing a compendium of knowledge concerning the Stone Age with particular reference to the region on the Lower San and Łęg River, together with a list of the artefacts presented at the exhibition.
