Evenings include talks about the site, discussions of the finds, and guest lectures on related topics. On weekends, volunteers are off-duty, and often head off with new friends to visit areas of interest nearby. Note that the Web site includes a free listing of current volunteer opportunities and some useful links. Most of the digs listed in BAR are located in the Middle East, as the name would imply. Online, one especially noteworthy Web site is that of Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs .
Fees paid by volunteers cover the price of their food and lodging.
