Agree with you that it comes under the category of "quite hypothetical". If the finds were from a cu...

EXAR conference CfP


The annual meeting of EXAR, or, with its full name, the European Association for the Advancement of Archaeology by Experiment, will be taking place in Vienna/Austria this year, from September 26 to 29. Presentations will be held on September 27 and 28, with the rest of the conference days reserved for get-together and excursions.




An EXAR conference in Vienna was the first EXAR conference I've attended, and it was utterly wonderful - so I deeply regret that I won't be able to go there this year, as I've already booked my booth spot for the Nadelkunst in Weikersheim, and that is on the very same weekend.




If you have no such date clash, however, this year's conference will be focusing on “Experimental Archaeology in Science and Teaching”, and it will be presented in cooperation with the Natural History Museum Vienna. (Which is, all by itself, a gorgeous place to visit.) The Call for Papers for the conference is now open, and they are looking for presentations or posters, addressing the following topics:




  • methods of analysing finds and features which provide the basis for

    experiments
  • experiments and their results/reconstructions based on or used for

    experiments
  • science-based demonstrations and related museological teaching methods



Presentations are possible in either German or English, with the request to do the slides in the other language to make your presentation as widely accessible as possible to the audience (so German slides if you are talking in English, and vice versa). Presentation length should not be more than 20 minutes.




The Call for Papers will be open until June 15, 2019, and is possible via the website www.exar.org. Conference registration will be open until August 31, and conference fees for non-speakers are between 12,50 € and 40 €.
