From Monday May 20 till Friday the 24th, at University of Exeter 10 participants met at the 2nd workshop organized within OpenArch project. The title of that workshop was "The life cycle of structures in experimental archaeology: an object biography approach". We explored the interaction of research and visitor agendas experienced by many experimental archaeology projects and archaeological open-air museums that present a variety of structures including houses, boats and furnaces. We were happy, that several EXARC members have joined us!
