Every effort will be made to see that all team members have a safe and healthy excavation season. There is, however, always a danger of dehydration or accident involving cuts, bruises, insect bites that might need medical treatment. Team members with first aid experience will provide on site care. More serious problems are treated in Madaba or Amman. The project is in contact with several fine hospitals, where emergency service is available.
Weekends are free for rest, travel, recreation, catching up on notebooks, writing reports, etc.
It is possible to visit several countries in the region from Jordan. You may wish to visit these countries, before or after the excavations are over. No team member may leave the country during the dig.
