Summary
May 15th, the second online Issue of this year has been published. Since 2014 it is EXARC's aim to post four online issues a year. This issue contains nine articles divided over four sections. Four articles are Mixed Matters, others are reviewed articles. Issue 2014-2 includes among others three articles from the 2013 EXARC meeting at Csiki Pihenökert (HU). In the first week of September 2013 EXARC, together with Csiki Pihenökert, hosted a conference in Hungary. With participants from seven countries we worked on live interpretation, living history and education in archaeological open-air museums and similar places. Our themes were “live interpretation and education: behind the scenes and international stories”.
