The Neolithic Age in Denmark lasted from about 4000 to 1800 B.C. Until then people had been living on a hunter-gatherer diet, but now began the cultivation of plants and the domestication of wild animals.

The stone-age tribe shows what everyday life may have been like at a Neolithic settlement about 5000 years ago.

The activities, which are carried out at the settlement, include flintknapping and a wide range of other stone-age crafts, as well as different techniques for hunting and fishing. Every day a meal is prepared for the entire tribe.

The work at the settlement is carried out as experimental archaeology, which means that techniques and tools are reconstructed from archaeological finds. The experiments help provide a better understanding of life in the Neolithic Age.

The houses at the settlement have been reconstructed from finds in the island of Bornholm, where three longhouses dating from about 2800 B.C. have been excavated. The houses in Bornholm were up to 18 metres long and 7 metres wide – large enough to accommodate an extended family, plus tools and supplies.
