Anyons are particles that pick up a complex phase factor upon particle exchange. In one dimensional optical lattices, it has been proposed to create anyons by engineering occupation-dependent tunneling amplitudes for bosonic atoms by means of Raman assisted tunneling [1]. We propose a different scheme for the realization of such 1D anyons that relies on lattice shaking. Our scheme is very easy to implement experimentally, since it neither relies on the internal atomic structure nor requires additional lasers.
