We will be seeking applicants for the third season of excavation at the Bronze Age/Iron Age site of Castelo, located in the Alentejo region of Portugal. We are looking for a fairly small team, so apply early! Feel free to contact us for additional information.
Prior experience in archaeology is not required - students of all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. This field school will train students in archaeological methods, such as excavation techniques, recording, illustration, and the handling and processing of artifacts. Visit our Field School page for additional information on the program and life on the project.
Course credit is not offered for this field school. |

Please note the following:
Once accepted, students will be asked to fill out a number of forms and pay the full tuition (non-refundable, exceptions due to special circumstances such as cancellations due to COVID-19 or inability to travel due to the virus). The funding for this project comes from student tuition - that means you. All payments made to the Castelo Archaeological Project go directly toward room and board for the crew, field trips, site and artifact conservation, and funding for specialist analyses.
Thanks for your interest in our program - we hope to hear from you soon!
