Applications shall be submitted by May 15th.  Although this is not a deadline, is less likely that there are still vacancies after this date. Minimum age for participation is 18 years. No previous experience in the field of archaeology is required in order to participate. If certificates of attendance at the field school and excavations, or signed university forms are needed, we are pleased to assist. 
The cost of participation is 200 euro per week. This will cover local transportation (including from and to the airport), accommodation, meals (3 meals per day plus beverages) for the entire period of participation – including weekends, recreational trips organized within the project and guidance.
