The 2023 meeting of the European Association for the advancement of archaeology by experiment e.V., EXAR, will take place at the Archaeological Open Air Laboratory Lauresham in Lorsch (Germany) from October 5th – 8th 2023. For this conference we will ask for presentations later in summer 2023.
Whitsun 2018 will be exciting at the Heuneburg! Living history actors depicting prehistory, Iron Age, Roman times, the Middle Ages and modern times populate the Celtic town. How was an armament set up? How were weapons forged? What did a soldier of the First World War carry in his pack? All these questions will be answered!
Lying at the extreme northern tip of Newfoundland, L'Anse aux Meadows represents the only widely accepted Viking-Era presence in North America. Archaeological remains of seven buildings were found at the site, along with a few minor artefacts including a ring-headed pin, glass bead, and drop-spindle whorl. Evidence of on-site work was also found in the form of iron slag, discarded ship rivets, and axe-hewn wood chips. Four of the seven buildings were reconstructed by Parks Canada. Since 1997, these have been staffed by costumed interpreters who blend first- and third
Fostering heritage communities
Heritage communities are a cornerstone of the Council of Europe’s Faro Convention. But how do heritage sites actually become meaningful for everyone? What triggers volunteer engagement and what boosts someone’s sense of fulfilment?

At the tip of Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula lies the first known evidence of European presence in the Americas. In 1960, George Decker, a citizen of the small fishing hamlet of L'Anse aux Meadows, led Helge Ingstad to a group of mounds near the village that the locals called the "old Indian camp".
Helge Ingstad and Anne Stine Ingstad carried out seven archaeological excavations there from 1961 to 1968. L'Anse aux Meadows is currently the only confirmed Norse site in North America. Eventually it became a federal site and now it is part of the Parks Canada Agency family of National Historic sites, National Parks, and Marine Conservation Areas. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978.
