Mediterranean archaeological field schools

Mediterranean archaeological field schools are educational programs where students and volunteers participate in active excavation and research of ancient sites across countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Participants gain hands-on experience in archaeology, including surveying, digging, recording, and preserving artifacts, under the guidance of professional archaeologists. These programs foster understanding of historical cultures and contribute to knowledge about human history in the region. They also promote cultural exchange and often include coursework, archaeological talks, and community engagement, making them valuable for both learning and contributing to the preservation of archaeological heritage.
