SCHOLARSHIPS
We encourage all students to apply to external scholarships, such as the following:
APPLYING TO THE FIELD SCHOOL
|
We are seeking applicants for the seventh season of excavation at the Bronze Age/Iron Age site of Castelo and our second season of excavation at the Bronze Age site of Martes, located in the Alentejo region of Portugal.
Students are responsible for their own travel/medical insurance and plane tickets to and from Lisbon. 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. However, we are happy to sign any forms you may need to get academic credit through your university, though we ask that you discuss this with us prior to the start of the project. Many students from previous seasons have managed to obtain course credit by talking to an academic advisor at their university: some were approved to substitute a required field course with their time on the project, while others enrolled in an independent study course focusing on their time on the project and culminating in a final report. We are also happy to help you fill out your UK or AUS archaeology passport. |
