ArcheoParc Schnals
The ArcheoParc Schnals , South Tyrol's first archaeological museum with an open-air area , shows the way of life of the people who lived in the Neolithic (around 3300 BC) in Schnalstal in the Ötztal Alps in Italy . The find of Ötzi at Tisenjoch on Schnalskamm was an archaeological sensation in 1991. The museum sees itself as a supplement to the South Tyrolean Archeology Museum in Bolzano , where the ice mummy is on display.
The concept of the archeology park near the village of Unser Frau , which was opened in 2001 at an altitude of 1500 m on a 4400 m² site with a view of the site, is the most realistic possible conveyance of the circumstances at that time. The museum building is inspired by Neolithic wooden structures. On the way to the Tisenjoch at an altitude of 3,208 m, traces of the Middle and Neolithic in Schnalstal and Vinschgau are shown with reconstructions of the way of life, the environment and vegetation. The transition to pasture farming, which is more than 6000 years old, and its consequences are shown. The prehistory of the Schnalstal is presented beginning with the Mesolithic Age (8300-5000 BC). The highlight of the exhibition is a 3D stereo multivision show on the man's last walk out of the ice.
Activities are the focus of the park. In the area of museum education, reconstructions of Ötzi equipment and Stone Age techniques can be tried out under supervision. During a tour of the museum building, the visitor has a view of the open-air area that corresponds to the topic. Here are 17 types of wood that Ötzi u. a. in the form of a bow made of yew tree, arrow shafts from the snowball bush, knife handle made of linden wood and vessels made of birch bark, as well as planted ancient grains ( emmer , einkorn ), beans, lentils and poppy seeds Three houses reconstructed according to archaeological excavation findings from Arbon-Bleiche ( Pfyner culture in Switzerland and Alleshausen-Grundwiesen ( Baden-Württemberg ) 2875–2840 BC - Goldberg III group ) are on the open-air site.
