Volunteers are invited to apply to join the field team for the third field season of the project, from 24th June to 2nd August 2024. This year the project will be undertaking both field survey and excavation, and volunteers will have an opportunity to gain experience in field methods and protocols, archaeological documentation and finds identification. Participants will be accommodated in a shared room with shared bathroom. Accommodation will be approximately 15 Euros per night. Lunch and dinner will be approximately 15 Euros per day. Participants will purchase their own breakfasts. (Exact costs will be confirmed in April before applicants are asked for firm confirmation.)

If you are interested in participating, we ask that you be willing to join us for either the first or the second three weeks of the season (that is 24th June to 13th July or 14th July to 2nd of August), or both. Previous experience of archaeological field work is not essential, but it would be an advantage to have some experience in a related field (such as volunteering in a museum, course work in classical archaeology, art history, classics or anthropology).

If you are interested, please submit a brief letter of application stating why you would like to work on the project and how it would fit into your broader educational and/or career goals. Please also send a brief curriculum vitae listing relevant experience you may have (such as course work in classical archaeology, archaeology, anthropology, art history, architectural history or a related discipline; previous archaeological or museum volunteering; experience of working on archaeological materials in a laboratory setting; skills such as data management, work with geographic information systems, etc.). Please also include the names of two referees (such as a lecturer or professor) who can be asked to vouch for your suitability to work as part of the project team. Please send this information to Professor Lisa Nevett at the University of Michigan (lcnevett@umich.edu).

Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until all places are filled, or until 30th April, whichever comes first.
