Abstract: Dr. Julia Heeb, hosting the conference on behalf of Museum Village Düppel in Berlin, starts by welcoming all participants. She then moves on to introduce the history of the Museum Village Düppel, a medieval settlement which was excavated from 1967 onwards. In the 1970s, it was reconstructed and brought back to life by a group of volunteers. While a lot was achieved over the years, Dr Heeb noted a lack of standardized documentation practices when she started as curator of the museum in 2017. Dr Heeb lists the initiatives she took to improve this situation and the collaboration she sought from EXARC and other museums. A major step was taken in a 2019 student seminar on the topic, which was carried out in Düppel by the Institute for Prehistoric Archaeology and led by Enrico Lehnhardt.
