Archaeology of Pull Tabs
The last days – or weeks! – the website was down for unknown reasons. Apparently there was a database connection error in wordpress, caused by the database user having been deleted. I will have to contact the server administrator how that is even possible! But anyway, we are back online now, and apologies for if …
Our USA lineage holder Alex Morton (Indianapolis) took the initiative to set up camp at the 52nd BCCA Canvention in Louisville, Kentucky. He spent weeks designing and crafting displays, combining his own work with that of Evan Jaworski, William Schroeder and the Pull Tab Archaeology project. He teamed up with Evan at the airport to …
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 …
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 …

Evan surely qualifies! Collecting since approximately 2016, he has an extensive collection of statabs, and especially the older ring pulls. You can see some …
Another cool shipment from Tommy and Jericho Nelson, found at Burma Road outside Twin Bridges, Montana. Both junior archaeologists, as they like to call themselves, have already shipped 3 times before…and usually there are really cool or rare pull tabs within each shipment, like this 1963 ziptop tab on the left, the very first pull …
We were on TV!! Well, our t-shirt was.. Pull Tab Archaeologist professor Nicholas Beaudry (UQAR Canada) wore our t-shirt when on Canadian TV! Really cool! See second 44 and on, but the whole item about this 19th century settlement is interesting to watch, of course. Good exercise for my rather rusty French.
Guess who’s back! 😉We returned from a splendid holiday in Austria, slightly less ‘pulltabby’ than last year, and straight back into the mess of the office back home. A true killer for creativity. Time to clean up. Find the video on the patreon page, patron-only for now. but it will become public in a few days
