Besides defining archaeological open-air museums (see here) another key issue to EXARC is Experimental Archaeology. This is a marking essence of almost each of our members activities. We are aware there are many definitions. However, we think it is more important to see what the members think experimental archaeology is like and how they themselves employ this. Over the coming months, EXARC is seeking advice from its members about this.
