We are 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 (and any others interested) 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 off on forms if you are planning on applying to scholarships. |
