Papers on any any topic related to experimental archaeology are welcome, but those that touch on the relationship between experimental and experiential approaches are particularly welcome.

Costs

The Experimental Archaeology Conference aims to attract a variety of contributors, from established academics to students at all levels, to museum professionals and craftsmen practicing or interested in recreating past techniques. As such this year’s conference organisers intend to keep attendance costs to a minimum, and will confirm these later in the year.
