The University of Virginia is proud to sponsor summer archaeological field schools at three of Virginia's premier historic sites: the first permanent English settlement at Jamestown, Thomas Jefferson's primary home and plantation at Monticello, and Jefferson's personal retreat and plantation at Poplar Forest. These field schools offer a unique opportunity for students to make a contribution to the research and interpretation of early American history. Students receive graduate credits (Anthropology 5589) from the University of Virginia.

Each field school provides students a foundation in field of historical archaeology and offers the opportunity to learn the practical skills of site survey, excavation, recording, and laboratory procedures. A good part of each day is spent doing excavation which requires physical endurance and excellent health. On-site instruction, lectures, discussion sessions, and field trips to other archaeological sites complement the field work.

Archaeotek is offering summer field opportunities in field archaeology and bioarchaeology in Transylvania (Romania). Here is what they are offering:

Our research looks at processes of crisis management - in terms of persistence, adaptation, creolisation, identity, spirituality, and funerary rites and rituals - in liminal space-time environments, such as the European frontier, in this case, Transylvania (Romania). We are currently interested in two major continuity breaks in the region: the first one triggered by the collapse of the Dacian Kingdoms after their final defeat in 106AD to Trajan’s legions and subsequent colonization; and the second one following the defeat of the European armies at the Battle on Mohacs in 1526 and subsequent Ottoman invasion. We are focusing on questions of transition and persistence in liminal contexts, creolization, identity and status negotiation/representation in unstable and dynamic environments, socio-cultural and spiritual adaptation as it pertains to mortality, health and salvation in times of crisis.
