EXARC Working Groups

We have now started several working groups and created a space for them on our community Discord server!

You may remember we posted a few weeks ago about our plan to implement working groups, and asked you to fill in a poll to let us know what kinds of working groups you would be interested in.

So you’ve dug up an object… but how do you know what it was used for? Microwear and use-wear analysis is a growing sub-field within archaeology looking for microscopic traces on artefacts which might give us clues on how they were used in the past – or what might have happened to them once they were abandoned. Join us on this month’s episode of #FinallyFriday for a deep dive into the world of microscopes and experimental reference collections.
