The Ornavik project has its roots in a scientific approach, with a focus on lively teaching methods. Its aim is to bring to life the knowledge usually stored in museums and books. Its approach is based on the principles of experimental archaeology.
Indeed, since the Ornavik project was launched in 2009, the association Les Vikings an 911 has established partnerships with numerous historians and archaeologists as Laurent Mazet-Harhoff, archaeologist at the historical reconstruction site in Lejre (Denmark), and Vincent Hincker, head of the Calvados Departmental Archaeology Service are one of them.
In 2015, Ornavik took a step forward by creating a scientific committee, which meets as often as necessary. All the scientists who make up the committee review past actions, contribute to the design of projects, and develop historical knowledge of the period 911-1066 for the association.
Thanks to the scientists who have already supported the Ornavik project.
