Book Review: Draft Animals in the Past, Present and Future by Claus Kropp and Lena Zoll (eds) | EXARC
Summary: The domestication and subsequent training of strong animals to pull vehicles was a game changer for humans. Just like the first person who jumped onto a horse and hung on as they veered giddily towards a new horizon, driving and draft meant that humans got places faster – goods could be stored in a vehicle for longer journeys, trade goods became more than what a human could carry on their backs...

Arne FockeSome of you might be members of Exarc like me. Be aware that there is a scamming attempt underway using Exarcs good name and the probably fake name Peter Inker.
Don’t fall for it, it is fake.
Exarc is notified about it and will warn its members as well.

One of the things which I love ( because I'm a practical kinda person) is #ExperimentalArchaeology and have been a member of #EXARC the experimental organisation for quite some time. I'm also an editor and reviewer of the journal. Here's the new EXARC Digest. It looks great! If you'd like to come to the big @EAAarchaeology conference in my hometown of Belfast, I'm chairing a session - send me those abstracts asap!
Austin MasonVery pleased to have this article published in the open-access EXARC Journal about designing and launching the undergraduate "Experimental Archaeology & Experiential History" course we’ve developed at Carleton College with a significant public digital history component.

Launching an Experimental Archaeology Course at the Undergraduate Level | EXARC
Summary: This article describes the process of designing and running a new course on Experimental Archaeology and Experiential History at a small liberal arts college in central Minnesota. We discuss the general methodological and pedagogical goals for the course, a representative three-week sequence of readings and labs based on the lives of shepherds, and the pedagogical and digital infrastructure...

Angela CostelloI purchased hemp "linen" this week and washed it. If I didn't know it was hemp, I would have thought was flax at sight and touch. I thought it would wrinkle more like cotton, but washing it really softened the fibers. Hemp has a rich history in textile use and I'm delighted that it's coming back with prices comparable to flax. Purchased from Burnley and Trowbridge in VA, USA.
