The AAA Conference 2017 takes place 6-8 December in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. There will be two sessions on experimental archaeology at the Australian Archaeological Association (AAA) 2017 Conference as well as a pre-conference workshop day.
On behalf of the organizing committee, we invite you to participate in the African Conference on Experimental Archaeology (ACE), in Johannesburg, South Africa. The conference will be held at the Wits Club, University of the Witwatersrand. ACE encourages the exchange and sharing of new work in scientific experiments and closely related activities focussing on African and Africanist research.
This year the REARC meetings are scheduled for October 25th and 26th in historic Fredericksburg, Virginia. We are excited to announce that the Department of Historic Preservation at the University of Mary Washington will host Friday presentations. And on Saturday, REARC craftspeople will hold a variety of demonstrations/workshops at George Washington’s Ferry Farm.
Sharpen your prehistoric tools for a day out to remember as we celebrate everything that is great about flint! Explore the undulating grounds of Grime’s Graves, the only prehistoric flint mine open to the public in the UK, before heading deep underground into the prehistoric flint mine* wearing your hard hat!
I have been a founding board member of REARC in the US and have taught experimental archaeology courses at Western Carolina University since 2013. My research interests include foodways, pottery use and manufacture, Cherokee Studies, Neolithic Britain, Woodland and Mississippian studies.
This spring, on Saturday 30 & Sunday 31 March, the OER weekend is at the Hunebedcentrum. Then the Prehistoric Park will be packed with prehistoric people. The dolmen builders and their descendants imitate life in prehistoric times.
Vlaardingen, not far from Rotterdam hosts a large nature reserve, called Broekpolder. Its size is 400 hectares (almost 1,000 acres), a quarter of the surface of Vlaardingen Municipality. It is an area for walking, mountain biking, et cetera. Masamuda aims to offer children and other people with an interest in the regional archaeology a real-live insight into past settlements in the Dutch delta.
2006, a civil initiative started to prevent the Broekpolder from being overbuilt with new houses. Citizens and the local municipality now cooperate in developing this area. One part of Broekpolder is an archaeological education zone, Masamuda. Vlaardingen has an archaeological past going back very long. Masamuda is meant to reconstruct dwellings from all periods, Stone Age until more recent times. The first house was built in summer 2016, a so called Vlaardingen Culture House.
