	Lejre
		In a way it is. The houses are part of an Iron Age village near the town of Lejre, 25 miles west of Copenhagen, Denmark.
		Here, aided by student volunteers who live and sometimes dress like prehistoric farmers, the Lejre scientists measure everything from the body heat given off by animals stabled indoors to the length of time it takes for a thatched wattle-and-daub house to disintegrate after it has been abandoned.
		Nestled between marsh and hill, the houses at Lejre, like their Iron Age counterparts, lie along an east-west axis, with hearth and living quarters at the western end of each and pens for livestock at the eastern end.

		According to the medieval sagas and chronicles, Lejre, west of Roskilde, was the royal seat of the first Danish royal family, the Skjoldungs.
		Tradition has it that the founder of the tribe Skjold was sent to the land of the Danes by Odin as a baby to unify the divided people.
		During this period, the grave monuments and the strikingly placed large buildings made Lejre a landscape expressing power - a royal seat fitting for a royal family reigning during the final centuries of antiquity.

	Lejre Experimental Centre: Burial Mounds
		The answer is that they are all very important parts of an extensive and, with time, far-reaching interdisciplinary project concerning Bronze Age burial mounds, conditions of preservation and, not least, the rituals associated with the building of these mounds and the burials within them.
		The main thrust of results of the pedological investigations was, therefore, that the environment which led to the exceptional state of preservation should probably be seen in the light of a specially and consciously executed method of mound construction.
		This is a project which has arisen from, and incorporates, concrete questions ranging from those concerning pedological processes and particular methods of mound construction to hypotheses of significance for a broader interpretation of Bronze Age religion, social conditions and cosmology.

		An example is Butser Ancient Farm in the English county of Hampshire which is a working replica of an Iron Age farmstead where long-term experiments in prehistoric agriculture, animal husbandry and manufacturing are held to test ideas posited by archaeologists.
		In Denmark, the Lejre prehistoric farm carries out even more ambitious work on such diverse topics as artificial Bronze Age and Iron Age burials, prehistoric science and stone tool manufacture in the absence of flint.
		Other types of experimental archaeology may involve burying modern replica artefactss and ecofacts for varying lengths of time to analyse the post-depositional effects on them.
