Archaeology of Pull Tabs
When Remco, Ellen and their two sons Wouter and Jasper went for a walk, they turned it into a Pull Tab Archaeology exploration and clean-up adventure. The boys went looking for tabs and with help of Remco they made a map on which all artifacts were recorded with red dots and numbers that corresponded to …
When people send pull tabs for the project, I usually thank them by e-mail and ask how they found our project. Often I just love the dialogue that can result from that question. When I asked Liz Betts (41) from Campbells Creek (Victoria, Australia), she replied that she looked up our project because she often …
Alex Morton is definitely a fan! He contacted me some months ago, I think after I had just made the video with Evan. He liked to connect, no, he NEEDED to connect fast and share what he was doing. Starting from a project at his day job at a school, he is rapidly on his …
Nice cans from Justin Richards, found in his sisters aviary in Murray Bridge, Australia (Batch 653). Justin wrote that South Australia had a ‘5 cent deposit can’ system since 1977 which changed to 10 cent in 2008. The coke can on the right has no date, but does have a UPC barcode, and an S-II-4 …

Evan included a detailed description of the place and context where the pull tabs were found and included a GIS map indicating the area of the finds. And most importantly, Pull Tab Archaeology inspired him a …
This was really a nice one! I was contacted a few months ago by Evan Jaworski, from Austin, Texas, a 26 year old G.I.S. specialist and…proud owner of a genuine pull tab collection. It is rare that we encounter people who have their own collection, so I asked if he cared for a video interview. …
This week we got an interesting e-mail from Gareth Stevens who informed us that using the correct historical name for pull tabs is actually quite a tricky thing, especially comparing the US with the UK. As an early metal detectorist – who built his detector himself in the 70s! – he informed us on the …
Meet Evan, Pull Tab Archaeologist from Austin, Texas!In Pull Tab Archaeology we regularly meet people who care about pull tabs. However, those who entertain their own collection and artwork are rare! Evan surely qualifies! Collecting since approximately 2016, he has an extensive collection of statabs, and especially the older ring pulls. You can see some …
“What if we, against all irony, create an official archaeological typology of ‘pull tabs’? It was this thought which provoked the just as much playful as serious archaeological experiment.” These are the (current! 😉 ) opening lines of an article about our pull tab archaeology project that I have been working on for the last …
