We are pleased to announce EXARC received funding from the Wenner-Gren Foundation to make this conference a success.

The Wenner-Gren Foundation is committed to playing a leadership role in anthropology. They help anthropologists advance anthropological knowledge, build sustainable careers, and amplify the impact of anthropology within the wider world. The Foundation dedicates themselves to broadening the conversation in anthropology to reflect the full diversity of the field.

"The purpose of anthropology is to make the world safe for human differences." – Ruth Benedict

The jury says about the #EAC 12 Conference: “Experimental archaeology comes in two flavors, one involving the scientific testing of hypotheses around questions of wear and so on; the other involving the engineering of experiences that bring past practices to life and generate new issues to explore. … As crafted, the proposal has a global reach, and the format makes this event accessible and engaging across a fairly wide range of geographical areas…. The concept and execution centers inclusivity as a guiding principle that is evident throughout the proposal.”

We feel strengthened by the Wenner-Gren Foundation’s support and look forward to making this conference as global and inclusive as possible. Please register for our Conference’s Newsletter via https://exarc.net/meetings/eac12/registration
