The Butser team is out to answer some of prehistory's most burning questions using experimental archaeology - that means trying, building, and testing tools and technology from the ancient past. What better way to find out how things were made, or how they worked, than having a go with them yourself?
This Heritage Open Day, watch the team at work with video documentaries taking you behind the scenes of Butser's experiments. See experiments to answer how Stonehenge was made, how to build and care for a roundhouse, and how to design and lay a Roman mosaic rescued from beneath the M4...
Butser Ancient Farm is a world-renowned experimental archaeology centre with a Stone Age farm, Iron Age village, Roman villa, and Saxon meadhalls all faithfully reconstructed from real UK archaeology. Visit to explore the ancient past, or watch the experiments on Butser Plus.
