Our work is generally divided between field excavations and laboratory work. Volunteers who choose to do fieldwork will learn the basic techniques of archaeological excavation and recording. Those who work in the lab learn how to process, identify, and catalog artifacts recovered in our excavations. Volunteers may choose to do only fieldwork or only lab work or both. Volunteers work with us Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
Most volunteers work one day a week, but scheduling is flexible.
Archaeology volunteers must be at least 16 years of age. No previous training or experience in archaeology is required. Patience, a keen interest in the past, a desire to learn, and a willingness to get dirty are all a plus both in the field and in the lab.
