The Association Pour l’Expérimentation et la Recherche Archéologique (“Archaeological Experimentation and Research Association“) is a student association attached to the University of Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne whose aim is to promote archaeological research and experimental archaeology, with no restrictions based on time periods or geographical locations. The association provides its members (undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students) with an administrative and scientific framework to help them develop their experimental projects. The APERA community also organizes experimental archaeology workshops, international study days and other events within the University, as well as visits to outdoor experimental sites. Furthermore, the association takes an active part in cultural mediation projects of various kinds. The first objective of this column is to give anyone interested in archaeology access to the association’s news (experimental archaeology sessions, meetings, visits to sites, conferences, thematic days, etc.). This column will also enable the APERA to publish its yearly bulletin, called Le Bulletin de l’APERA.
