N&N Group trip at Paper Museum and Archaeological Site in Capellades

Abric RomaníLast Friday, July 1st, the N&N Group did a Group Trip to visit the Paper Museum in Capellades (Museu Molí Paperer), and the Archaeological Site nearby (Abric Romaní).

As the Group is working with bacterial cellulose, we wanted to see how another type of paper was made and learn about the history of paper makers in Capellades. Victòria Rabal, director of the museum, guided us around the museum and taught us how to make some paper. And we did some!

On the other hand, the archaeologist Raül Bartrolí, explained us many things about the Neanderthals, and showed us some of the objects found in this unique archaeological site (see image), full of animal bones and flint tools (sílex).

We finished the trip with a picnic in the park, and a farewell to Sebastià Parets, as it was his last day with us!

All in all, a very nice and fruitful trip!
