FEES: It's suggested to stay at least for two weeks, this will provide benefits for the next weeks after the first one.
Participants receive training in all aspects of fieldwork, including excavation and data collection, archaeological survey and drawing, objects conservation, illustration, photography, and cataloging.
We believe that the best field experience is comprehensive. Students are encouraged to work directly with directors of excavation units, follow artifacts from discovery through conservation and into cataloging. Most of our participants come with no field work experience – many have never even taken an archaeology or classics course –and by the end of the season, we believe, each comes away with a foundation in Archaeology and field methods, as well as a rich appreciation for Italy and rural Italian culture.
