[Anthsoc] Field Schools in Greece

[Colin Wallace]

For those interested in excavation in Greece, there are a number of 
projects that now are advertising for students/staff next summer

1. The Mount Lycaion Excavation website now has information about the 
2008 season.  The excavation and survey focuses on a sanctuary site in 
the Peloponnese. This is a great project, with good leadership, and lots 
of opportunity to learn, and in a beautiful part of Greece. It is not, 
however, near a beach, so don't apply thinking you will be on the sea 
every evening!

2.  The Mitrou Excavation is on the east coast of Greece, opposite the 
island of Euboia (modern Evvia). It is a Neolithic-Bronze Age habitation 
and cemetery site on a tiny island just off the coast. You would wade 
across the strait every day to go to work. It has an extraordinarily 
well-run field school, and a lot of great staff.

3. For any Francophones, the Argilos archaeological project also is 
taking applications. This is a joint Greek-University of Montreal 
project. I have not visited this one and don't know the staff, but it 
looks like an interesting project too.
