Description

At first glance, remains that come from ruler's grave 1 on Glauberg are difficult to interpret, but they can be conclusively reconstructed into a bow and arrows in a quiver. The film explains the path of knowledge from archaeological findings to a functional reconstruction proposal. You can find out how such an arch is built here, you can find a nice overview picture of our reconstruction proposal here.
