The Ornavik project is based on the scientific approach and focuses on the hands-on experience. Its objective is to make dynamic a knowledge that is usually found in books and museums. Its approach is based on experimental archeology.
To do this, the association Les Vikings an 911 established in 2009 a cooperation with historians and archeologists including Laurent Mazet-Harohoff, archeologist on the historic site of Lejre (Denmark) and Vincent Hincker, head of the Archeological Department of Calvados.
In 2015, Ornavik went step further with the creation of a scientific committee, who meets whenever necessary. The scientists who are part of it take stock of the past actions, contribute to the conception of the projects and develop historic knowledge on the 911-1066 period.
