Website work

Work on website started

We are doing a complete overhaul of our website, it will take all together several months. This may cause some smaller problems over the coming period. Some links might be temporarily broken or you may see text and images which belong elsewhere. We apologise for this slight inconvenience but it is our aim to keep the website up and running for the full period we are working on it. We hope you will be happy with the results.

Tarragona, experimental archaeology: demonstrations or exhibitions?

End of October, the 5th Spanish International Conference on Experimental Archaeology will take place in Tarragona, Spain. EXARC has always worked closely together with colleagues in Spain for this conference: a dense program with lots of presentations and great proceedings. The last day of the conference, October 27, will be a practical day with live demonstrations related to a specific topic: LINKS. It will be a trip throughout time with the different ways of tying during the Prehistory and History, from the first steps of hafting, use of ropes, fabrics, nets, etc. Who of our EXARC members would be interested in participating in this practical day with some demonstration and/or exhibition related to this topic?
