Summary
We managed to publish the third EXARC Journal of this year by the end of Summer. It counts seven reviewed articles, some of which were presented at the EXARC Conference on archaeological open-air museums in Kernave (LT) in 2018, about DĂĽppel in Berlin (DE) and Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia (US). Further, authors discuss lithic technology from Brasil, the analysis of metal points, rondelles, throwing sticks, and a late Bronze Age horse bridle.
Then we also have 8 unreviewed short articles, mainly reviews of events and conferences (South Korea, Italy, Germany, Poland & Serbia), a book review and short articles on How to Communicate an Event to the Media and Shooting Experiments with Early Medieval Arrowheads. Have fun reading!

X-Ray Tomography and Infrared Spectrometry for the Analysis of Throwing Sticks & Boomerangs
In 2009, confronted to the study of throwing sticks collections from several museums and private collections (including more than three hundreds artefacts) and the need to evaluate their aerodynamic and functions, I developed a throwing stick classification and a methodology to measure their characteristics (Bordes, 2014). This approach is complementary to the gathering of ethnographic or archaeological contextual data to confirm or invalidate hypotheses about theirs functions.
