Description  

This program gives you the opportunity to participate in an archaeology fieldwork aiming to help and support the team of the local Archaeology museum in Hisar, Bulgaria in its work on three different ancient archaeological sites (all in one session): 1. Roman baths in the central city park; 2. A Thracian settlement near the village of Krastevich (found in 2007); 3. Another religious Thracian center some 700 m away from the settlement (found in 2007). The program sessions in which you can participate will take place in the summer, starting in June and ending in August. Sessions duration is two weeks, however those who think two weeks are not enough can apply for more time. The excavation work requires no previous experience and will be conducted by a professional archaeologist. Additionally, an interpreter will join the team, so fluent English is the only requirement. The two Thracian sites are situated about 35 km away from Hisar and will be visited with an organized transport. The main work will be concentrated on the Roman baths in the very center of the town, just in five minutes walking distance from the hotel. The rest two sites will be visited as an additional activity in order to enrich your experience as they represent a much earlier and interesting culture. All participants will obtain a fieldwork certificate by the Archaeology museum in Hisar.
