Introduction
Here is some brief information about the first AGATA campaign, which was run at INFN LNL Legnaro in Italy 2010-2011. The first experiment at LNL was performed with only one AGATA Triple Cluster detector (3 HPGe crystals). In 2011, the AGATA Demonstrator Array, with 5 AGATA Triple Cluster detecors (15 HPGe crystals), was completed. AGATA was mainly used together with the PRISMA spectrometer during this campaign.
