Thank you for your interest. Our team is now complete for our 2026 field season. If you are would like to participate, please check back in January for the 2027 season.

The project undertakes both field survey and excavation, and volunteers have an opportunity to gain experience in field methods and protocols, archaeological documentation and finds identification. Participants are accommodated in a shared room with shared bathroom. Accommodation is approximately 15 Euros per night. Lunch and dinner are approximately 20 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 (in 2026 that is 22nd June to 10th July or 13th July to 31st of July), or both (you should plan to arrive on the sunday before you start work, and leave the saturday after you finish work). 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). Willingness to get up early and do physical work in a hot dry environment, as well as the flexibility to work collaboratively with an international team, are essential.

If you are interested in participating, 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 ([email protected]).

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