ArchaeoMontan: Researching medieval mining in the Ore Mountains

More than 25 experts in archaeology, history, geology, mineralogy and others from both the Czech Republic and Germany are collaborating over a period of about three years to investigate, research and present the medieval mining activities of the Ore Mountains. The project ArchaeoMontan aims to establish a long-term bi-national archaeological research network. A highlight of the project is the exhibition “Silberrausch und Berggeschrey” which is shown in 2014 at Jáchymov (CZ) and Dippoldiswalde (DE).

core-consult had developed the project on behalf of the Saxon State Office for Archeology and performs the task of the Project Secretariat during its implementation period. The project involves seven partner institutions from the Czech Republic and Germany.
