Archaeological Field School

An Archaeological Field School is an educational program that offers students hands-on experience in archaeology. Participants learn how to conduct excavations, record findings, and understand the significance of artifacts in their historical context. These schools often take place at active archaeological sites, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world settings. Through fieldwork, they develop skills in research methods, data collection, and teamwork. Field schools are typically part of university programs and can be pivotal in training future archaeologists while contributing to the preservation and understanding of cultural heritage.
