Formal lectures by staff and visiting scholars as well as field trips to other archaeological sites are included. You will be graded on the basis of fieldwork, a daily journal, and an oral presentation. A student who successfully completes the Idalion Field School is fully qualified to join an excavation as an assistant supervisor, as several former field school students have. This cost does not include round-trip air fare. Except for dig excursions, students are responsible for all transportation costs on and off the island.
All costs are subject to change.
Field school applications must be received by April 15, 2001. The expedition also welcomes volunteers for a minimum 2-week stay. Airfare is not included. Dig hours are Sunday through Thursday from 6 to 11 am, followed by pottery processing from 11 to noon. After lunch and a siesta break, work resumes from 4 to 7 pm.
