The Antiquities Authorities for the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is an additional source of information. When applying for volunteer work, you should indicate any previous or ongoing studies you have in archaeology or related fields, such as anthropology, architecture, graphic arts, history or surveying, or experience in excavation, pottery restoration or photography. Volunteers are responsible for their own travel arrangements to and from Jordan. In most cases, volunteers must arrange for medical and accident insurance in advance. Even in instances where accident insurance is provided, it is strongly advised that volunteers arrive fully insured as the cover offered is minimal.
Many expeditions offer degree credit courses from sponsoring institutions.
Details concerning enrolment, subjects, conditions and costs may usually be obtained by contacting the excavation director. Volunteers should feel free to request information regarding an excavation in order to be able to appreciate all aspects of the experience. Most expeditions organise sightseeing and field trips to sites in the area and to neighbouring museums. Work Schedule Arranged according to the conditions at each site. In order to minimise exposure to sun and heat, working days generally begin before dawn and end after 12 noon.
