The EXARC Bibliography on Experimental Archaeology (11.000+ titles) is hosted by tDAR. See experimentalarchaeology.net
From 11,000+ titles:
7% was published before 1960
66% was published after 1990
80% are articles, chapters or conference papers
47% is in English, 29% in German
85% of the 5,500 authors, a one-time experiment?

What is EA?
Experiments do not only satisfy scientific purposes
You are forced to look at your data differently
A reconstruction is no experiment
Long term monitoring
It teaches us crafts, methods and techniques
It often is interdisciplinary work
It requires looking broader
It has become part of a toolkit of methods
