The European Association of Archaeologists held its annual conference in 2016 in Vilnius, Lithuania. About 1,500 participants attended a program with a similar number of papers in over 100 sessions. About a dozen EXARC members attended witnessing among others papers about archaeological tourism, visualisation, experiment and reconstruction. Case studies taught us about developments in glass making in the UK and France, bronze patination experiments in France, medieval bone combs from Belgium or outreach and community engagement on Cyprus. We expect a number of papers to be published through EXARC.
Vilnius was a good melting pot for the many archaeologists and we look forward to Maastricht (2018) and Barcelona (2019).
