EXARN (Experimental Archaeology Newcastle) is a recently established PGR-led Experimental Archaeology research group within the Archaeology Department at Newcastle University. EXARN, affiliated with the Cluster for Interdisciplinary Artefact Studies (CIAS), promotes the study of material culture, archaeo-materials and ancient technologies. Its aim is to bring together researchers employing EA and to encourage, aid and inform those interested in this research method, students and academics alike. EXARN's experimental projects are mainly related to the members' own PG research. Watch the documentary on their work!

EXARN organised the 1st Annual Experimental Archaeology Student Symposium, hosted in 2018 at Newcastle University, intended as a completely student-led, student-focused conference.
