The EXARC team is composed of a dedicated management team and a wide network of volunteers. Volunteers are vital to our organization, as they help sustain and develop all of our activities.

Their contributions span many areas, from podcast hosting and editing to managing our newsletter, website, and other communication channels.

Thanks to the combined efforts of staff and volunteers, EXARC is able to support its community, share knowledge, and promote experimental archaeology internationally.
