In this workshop, we will review what petroglyphs are and discover how to identify the different motifs carved into the stones: horses, deer, boats, swords, circles, dots, and more. Additionally, students will be able to produce their own petroglyphs on paper.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn about Rock Art and the motifs carved into petroglyphs.

• Discover the artistic diversity of petroglyphs: both geometric and figurative.

• Individually produce and compose a rock art motif.

• Develop creativity and manual dexterity.

This workshop begins at the CIDAR, where we will visit the replica of a cist and the grave goods from the Chousa Nova burial mound (Silleda). Through these, we will learn more about ancient funerary contexts. Afterwards, students will put their acquired knowledge to the test by completing activity sheets and will create a "prehistoric" necklace inspired by the one found at Chousa Nova.

Learning Objectives:

• Reflect on the importance of the funerary sphere in prehistoric human communities.

• Understand the ways of life during the Bronze Age through a visit to the exhibition area.

• Learn about trade concepts based on the exchange of materials in Prehistory.

The discovery of fire and its 'domestication' completely changed the lives of our ancestors. It was a source of light and warmth, a symbol of protection, and a bond that strengthened social relationships; it allowed for cooking food and transforming materials to produce better tools. However, in those times, obtaining fire was not easy, so keeping it alive was a vital task. In this demonstration, we will show different techniques used in Prehistory to start a fire.

In this workshop, students will understand the importance of graphic, plastic, and visual language as a means of expression in Prehistory. They will explore various archaeological replicas and ultimately experience firsthand the diverse creative processes of Prehistory by finger painting on a paper mural.

Learning Objectives:

• Acquire knowledge about the creation of pigments in Prehistory.

• Learn about the basic tools used to create paintings in Prehistoric times.

• Produce, design, and compose, either individually or as a group, the stages of creating and executing a mural decoration.

• Strengthen creativity and manual dexterity.

This workshop focuses on discovering one of humanity's greatest inventions: pottery. An activity that, along with other technical innovations of farming and livestock societies, changed the course of history. Additionally, students will learn some of the techniques used in the making and decoration of typical Bronze Age pieces.

Learning Objectives:

• Discover and understand the importance of pottery in daily life.

• Reproduce the stages of the creation and production process of a ceramic piece.

• Strengthen students' individual creativity and manual dexterity.

• Learn about, value, and respect the fundamental aspects of Neolithic and Bronze Age culture in Galicia.

This activity showcases the daily work of archaeologists in recording and documenting rock art in Galicia, offering a hands-on introduction to fieldwork in this discipline. Participants will create several tracings using various techniques, based on the petroglyph replicas found within the archaeological area.

Learning Objectives:

• Gain insight into the world of archaeology.

• Acquire specific terminology.

• Understand, respect, and value the documentation and conservation of Rock Art.

• Perform various recording techniques to create an image of a carving.

This activity will allow students to expand and consolidate the knowledge acquired during their visit to the Park. By following a series of questions and clues, they will explore the Archaeological Area, visiting different zones. This itinerary also offers the chance to observe the PAAR landscape, deepening their understanding of the environment and the natural context that gives meaning to the carvings.

Learning Objectives:

• Expand knowledge of the petroglyphs within the Archaeological Area.

• Observe and discover the Park's natural surroundings.

• Strengthen group dynamics and teamwork to achieve a common goal.

Through various replicas and characteristic objects, students will discover the evolution of hunting techniques in Prehistory, practicing their aim by using the assegai and the spear-thrower.

Learning Objectives:

• Gain an insight into different periods of Prehistory through the hunting techniques used by human beings.

• Develop concentration and manual skills.

• Understand and learn about the stages of cultural evolution through the tools used for this activity.
