A new field-school opportunity in Paleoanthropology and Paleolithic
Archaeology, offered by The University of Winnipeg in collaboration
with Belgrade University and the National Museum, (Belgrade) is now
available. Open to upper undergraduate and graduate students, the
field-school will take place at the Balanica cave complex, a hominin
bearing Mousterian site in Southern Serbia, and Salitrena cave, the
richest Aurignacian and Gravettian site in Western Serbia. The course
is available to 3rd and 4th year undergraduate students, and graduate
students. Enrollment is limited. To ensure a place on the team
applicants should send their application before March 15th. While
space might be available after that date, preference will be given to
students applying before that time.

Students will participate in the survey of the Gorge, excavation of
Mala Balanica, Velika Balanica and Šalitrena caves, processing of soil
samples and artifacts and documentation and basic analysis of the
material. In addition, there will be several formal lectures in
different aspects of the project by specialists working on the project
and distinguished visitors. Students will be supervised by a team
member, each of whom will be responsible for providing instruction and
support for four students at any time during the field work.

Lectures and workshops in data recording, lithic technology, human
osteology and quaternary paleontology will be held throughout the
field season. Spontaneous discussions and expression of individual
interests are particularly encouraged.

Excursions to Belgrade and the Iron Gates Gorge, and (time permitting)
the Monastery complex in Manasija with a visit to a natural Resavska
cave, and a free day in Niš are planned for the duration of the Field
School.

Please contact the Department of Anthropology, University of Winnipeg
for more information and applications and visit the project website to
