Thank you to everyone who joined the launch event for our new textiles working group, which took place this past Sunday over on the EXARC Discord server. It was a very fun and vibrant discussion!

At the launch we talked about the future of the working group, and introduced the idea to bring back the technique specific talks we used to have during the plague, but maybe over little bit longer time (like over the weekend instead of few hours on Saturday afternoon). This idea was supported, especially if the topic is decided on early enough to willing participants to research and prepare on. 

We would like to share a recent job posting from Wesleyan University (Connecticut, USA):

"Wesleyan University’s Archaeology Program invites applications for a one year full-time Visiting Assistant Professor in Archaeological Science with a focus on Ancient Technologies or Archaeological Materials, to begin September 1, 2024. The initial appointment is for one year and is renewable for a second year based on performance.

We are running high speed now, as we only have four months to go until the big conference. Sometimes you wish there were more hours in the day... We just returned from another visit to Museum Village Düppel in Berlin (14-16 May, 2024). Our goal was to test the Retold app "in the wild", or as this exercise is called, do a User Acceptance Test. Several scenarios were staged, for example: "you want to open the app and document a craft activity".
