EXARC Publications

This Issue includes articles on a Mesolithic Fish Weir - partly reconstructed in Finland, a story about Celtic Copper Alloy Coin Minting, and a Re-evaluation of the Common Cooking Terms in Connection with Brewing.
Also the Journal brings you an article by Doug Meyer on what all is needed for outfitting a Catawba Indian Mannequin for a museum in Germany.
Anders Söderberg, one of Sweden's most knowledgeable hands-on archaeometallurgists and low-tech bronze casters, has a great paper on Viking Age mould making...

In the Digest we hope to show off the wide range of topics the Journal covers. After long deliberation, and it has not been easy to choose from so many interesting articles, we chose six reviewed articles covering topics from reconstruction of prehistoric clothing for museum display through building and testing a traction trebuchet to a recreation of Earth ovens with clay heat retainers or mirnyongs, which were typical of the temperate environments of eastern and south-eastern Australia.

The New EXARC Journal Digest is out now and will soon be sent to all 300+ EXARC members. For this Digest we had 28 interesting articles from the two latest issues of the EXARC Journal to choose from and it was not an easy task. We included articles on the reconstruction of a Stone Age baby rattle and re-rolling a mummy as visitor experience or archaeological experiment?

As you know, the Digest is only a taster, so please go to https://exarc.net/journal and see how much more information there is. The full EXARC Journal is open access, as sharing information and experience is one of the main aims of EXARC.

With the new EXARC website gone online, we also published our first Journal of 2018. We are happy to share 20 articles with you. This Issue includes articles on bronze patination, building a watchtower, re-rolling a mummy, taking vacation in the past, a rattle with animal teeth, prehistoric dances, Iberian pottery and Roman woodworking tools. Most of the Peer-Reviewed articles are from the EAC10 Conference in Leiden 2017.

Fourth online issue of the 2017 EXARC Journal contains eight articles divided over two sections. Three articles are Mixed Matters, five are Peer-Reviewed. Two articles are from EAC10 Conference last April in Leiden, The Netherlands: Kicking Ash, Viking glass bead making by Neil Peterson (CA) and Experimental Archaeology as Participant Observation: A Perspective from Medieval Food by Scott D. Stull (US). With those two we are starting the proceedings online. More articles to follow in 2018.

End of August we published this year's third EXARC Journal. It contains 13 articles, of which four are Peer-Reviewed (all Experimental Archaeology). We discuss 20 years of experimental archaeology in Torun, Poland but also outreach in Spain and the Olympic long jump in experiment.

The 2017-2 issue of the EXARC Journal is published now, with 11 articles divided over four sections.

Six articles are Mixed Matters, five are Peer-Reviewed. The articles come from a wide variety of countries and cover themes including an Event in the Czech Republic, Prehistoric Beekeeping, the Colour Palette of Antique Bronzes, Stable British Archaeological Open-Air Museums and Making a Mongol Era Bow. And of course book & conference reviews.
