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).

September 8, 2025: Our 2026 Programs are in the process of being updated

We have learned a lot during the 2022-2023 season. As a result, we have acquired the necessary experience to be certain that our 2025 projects will happen. No matter the state of the pandemic, we have the knowledge and the logistics to get our participants where they need to go and run our programs safely! Also, the Ukraine-Russia War has no bearing whatsoever on Romania or Georgia (except for price inflation) and does not affect in any way the safety of our participants and staff.
