EXARC Conferences, Meetings and Workshops

Paleofestival (May 26-27 in La Spezia, Italy) is a weekend of meeting and working with archaeology & the public. EXARC takes part – not just as visitors, but also with workshops and papers. Please register by emailing the EXARC Secretariat. With about 40 different activities, it attracts about 1,500 visitors. The festival shows both prehistory and history and is not limited to Europe. La Spezia is a naval station with a good climate, close to the famous Cinque Terre villages...

The conference “Archaeology for the People” addresses all those professionally interested people in public archaeology, (open-air) museums, living history and interpretation. While archaeologists discover ever more sites and gain insight in the past, the challenge is to convey these stories accurately to the public in an appealing way.
