When we talk about documentation, digitalisation and restoration we usually assume that the sites where this takes place are accessible and safe, like in an open-air museum. 

However, there is a category of conservation specialists who, on a daily basis, are dealing with a range of challenges when they work in remote and/or dangerous areas. In this episode two heritage preservation experts talk about what drives them and how they address the perils their teams face in places like Iraq, Mozambique or Angola. 

We have now opened the second call for applications for the 2024 EXARC Award!

Sometimes, you have a good idea for experimental archaeology research, but you lack resources. That is why EXARC offers two awards of 500 EUR each for worthwhile archaeological experiments, regardless where in the world they are executed and by whom. These awards are sponsored by EXARC member John Kiernan (US). The first grant of 2024 has already been awarded (more on that soon!), and we would now like to invite anyone interested to apply for the second grant before November 30th 2024.

We are very excited to open the first call for papers for our 2025 experimental archaeology conference, hosted by the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) in Curitiba, Brazil. While there are still many details to be finalised with the conferece organisation, you can find current information including registration fees, location, and dates on the official web page here: https://exarc.net/meetings/eac14 (Please note - as we will be launching a new EXARC website soon, this page may relocate.
