They call it a Stone Age camp and try as authentically as possible to imitate the tough living conditions of that age. But now and then, these archaeologists still dressed in their leather loin cloths and leather skirts will head to a supermarket for some modern-age food.

This summer makes the tenth time that archaeologists of Hamburg University and their students are taking a voyage back in time—to the Stone Age—in the town of Albersdorf in Schleswig-Holstein. This year, there are 26 who want to find out how humans possibly existed 10,000 years ago.

The camp not only serves the experiments of experienced archaeologists, but also the training of the next generation.
