EXARC’s annual meeting was in Italy this year, at the 13th Paleofestival in La Spezia. We had about 25 EXARC members present, in a field with 50 demonstrators on both days. It was a sunny weekend with plenty of visitors and enough time to chat too. EXARC wants to thank everybody who was present, but especially the organisers, Donatella Alessi & Edoardo Ratti.
There were 71 actors and 47 different events in the two days. Also, there was a lecture program with 11 presentations, 50/50 in Italian and English. Both days together, we saw over 1,500 visitors.
At the Annual General Meeting in La Spezia, a few changes were made to the EXARC Board. We said good-bye to Javier Baena from Madrid, who served as EXARC Secretary. Pascale Barnes was re-elected for a period of three years, and so was Milica Tapavički-Ilić. Linda Hurcombe from the University of Exeter has also joined the Board.
