Instructions
Prerequisites
The School is open to undergraduate and graduate students in archaeology, classics, history, cultural resources management, museum studies, and related disciplines. Admission is limited to 20 participants per shift.
Although the archaeology field school is open to participants of all skill levels, we prefer that students complete at least one course in archaeological theory and excavation methods before applying. Students who meet this prerequisite will have priority.
However, we will consider applications from less experienced students and encourage anyone who is interested to apply. We will happily provide all necessary training.
Application
The application form is a web-based online form. It will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Before starting, you should gather information about your CV, education, relevant experience, interests, and health. You also need to know which session and shifts you want to join.
Some questions will ask you to assess your proficiency and experience with various archaeological theory, methods, tools, and techniques. Typically, the assessment scale will be Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert.
- Beginner means that you have general theoretical knowledge but little or no practical experience.
- Intermediate means that you have in-depth theoretical knowledge with some practical experience.
- Expert means that, through specific coursework and training, you have acquired advanced theoretical knowledge and can demonstrate practical applications and a facility with tools and methods.
We use this information to create an optimal experience for you!
