Excavation and Survey Field Projects
ADVISORY: Archaeological Fieldwork requires significant physical labor, including:
Walking: while surveying, project participants will be walking throughout the day. The walking is discontinuous. The session may last for up to 7 hours of constant back-and-forth walking. Additionally, stores or restaurants can be over 1km away that you may wish to walk to in the evenings or on weekends.
Bending: While surveying and excavating, participants will frequently need to bend over to pick up archaeological material.
Lifting: Lifting 9-15L of soil.
Carrying: Moving wheelbarrows filled with soil, carrying samples, and field equipment
Crouching and Squatting: While excavating, you will often crouch or squat to be near the excavation surface.
Sleeping on a simple bed: Project beds are minimal. If you require a more supportive or forgiving surface, we suggest bringing a pillow, sleeping bag, or sleeping pad.
Emotional and Psychological Wellbeing: Extended time living and working away from a familiar environment in close communal quarters is a strenuous element of field work. Keeping in Contact with Home- a quiet room will be designated for private calls. Project WiFi is available, although unpredictable. Participants can also purchase a local SIM card with data (this is inexpensive and reloadable).
