The fifth edition of Archaeology Now transports us to the Middle Ages: the new finds from the 2024 excavation campaign in Jegenstorf cast a fascinating light on village life a good 1000 years ago.<\/p>\n
The extension to Grossenbacher\u2019s Bakery in the centre of Jegenstorf presented a unique opportunity: for four months, archaeologists investigated new traces of the already known mediaeval village. The excavation revealed pit-houses, pits for various purposes, and a number of graves. This is of particular importance because generally very few archaeological traces have survived from early mediaeval villages.<\/p>\n
The excavation tent awaits visitors with a representative selection of finds from the excavations in 2024, as well as from 2006 to 2008, which tell of cooking, travel, crafts, building and money in the Middle Ages. One of the highlights is a Merovingian gold coin that was struck in 645 in the Valais. The exhibition also presents further fascinating items from other mediaeval settlements in the Canton of Bern, including ornately carved artifacts made of bone, and sensationally preserved wooden objects. The exhibition is an impressive demonstration of the glorious sides that the so-called \u2018dark\u2019 Middle Ages actually had.<\/p>\n

Placed in out-of-home care, put to work, placed in guardianship, housed in institutions: by around the 1970s, several hundred thousand children, adolescents and adults in Switzerland had been subjected to compulsory welfare measures and fostering. In the Canton of Bern they numbered at least fifty thousand. Many came from difficult social or economic backgrounds. If a family did not conform to middle-class norms, the authorities reacted with repressive measures that violated personal rights.<\/p>\n
For some years now, the people who suffered have been becoming increasingly vocal. They report what they have undergone and demand that the long-term impact be accounted for and mitigated. The fact that they were wronged is now officially recognised. In 2011, the Canton Government of Bern issued an apology.<\/p>\n
The exhibition focuses on five victims born between 1894 and 1963 and invites visitors to immerse themselves in their stories. Finally, the question arises: how does what happened affect us today?<\/p>\n
