Iron extraction trials with the University of Copenhagen

Iron extraction experiments with the University of Copenhagen

On 1 May, you can experience experimental archaeology in practice when Associate Professor Henriette Lyngstrøm and students from the University of Copenhagen work with iron extraction in Lejre Land of Legends.
It’s a unique insight into the craftsmanship and technology of the past, where ancient methods are tested and recreated in reality. See how ancient people turned ant ore and fire into usable iron.
