The Institute of Archaeology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences once again took part in the European Researchers’ Night 2025, which was held at the Old Market Hall in Bratislava and carried the theme “Chaos.”
At our interactive booth, we engaged visitors of all ages by showing how archaeology—through the use of carefully selected methods—can deal with the chaos of finds and information from the field and transform it into a coherent picture of the past.
Together with us, participants had the opportunity to experience the work of an archaeologist by dating various artefacts from across all historical periods, from prehistory to the modern era. We demonstrated that even the apparent disorder of an archaeological site follows a system, and every find has its place and meaning in the mosaic of history.
Thank you to everyone who visited us and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
