Donald Haggis’s Azoria Project is now accepting volunteer applications for its summer 2014 field school. Applications are due April 1, and may be accessed through the Azoria website.
The Azoria Project has received international acclaim for its innovative Archaeological practices, winning the Archaeological Institute of America’s award for Best Site practices and a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Co-directers Donald Haggis and Margaret Mook are lauded for simultaneously excavating and preserving the Early Iron Age-Archaic site on the island of Crete. They involve and educate locals in creating an eco-archaeological tourist site.
This is an opportunity for students to gain archaeological experience in the field and to culturally immerse themselves in the Greek culture. Volunteers will live alongside locals in Pacheia Ammos and Kavousi, two villages near the site, and work with students and locals at the site.
