Experimental is an exciting branch of the archaeological science. It consists on recreated inside, in a laboratory, or outside, on open air, situations of life and work supposed to be lived in ancient times. With the help of researches and what was found by archaeologies, we try to let the object recovered "talk about it". It can be done trying to use the same materials and same tools of that age so we can understand the use and purpose that the find have had. In this branch it is required people expert in different subjects and above all technicians that often understand at the first look the old use of the objects just because it is like the one they normally use in their works. The experimental archaeology had a great importance in knowing the life of ancient time, and now plays more and more relevant role in the archaeological studies.
