Overview

This is the ideal resource for those who want to experience the excitement of an archaeological excavation, listing sites of 200 projects in North and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, where no previous experience is required. The guide provides an extensive list of workcamps and workcamp networks, with hundreds of opportunities to preserve cultural heritage worldwide. Excavations range from Palaeochristian churches in Jordan, to the sites of the first native Americans in Alaska, to defence walls on a Venetian island; projects cover rebuilding drystone walls in Italy and Greece, restoring castles in France, and preserving US historical sites in National Parks. A detailed annotated list of useful websites allows you to find even more opportunities in heritage restoration and preservation, volunteering in museums, and discovering other archaeological excavations. The introduction gives all the information on how to start and what to expect.
