Accepting Applications for the 2013 Field Season
June 30 - July 27

The PortAnta Archaeological Cooperative is seeking qualified applicants for its first season of fieldwork at the site of Santa Susana in the Alentejo region of Portugal.This site, never systematically excavated, holds a villa complex important to our understanding of the processes of colonization and settlement in this corner of the Roman Empire. Preliminary work at the site suggests a rich artifact assemblage dating from the 1st century C.E. through the 5th century C.E. In our first season, an intensive survey will provide targets for the initial excavation in the pars urbana and aid in understanding the extent and nature of occupation at the site.

Field school students will receive instruction in surveying techniques, the handling and processing of artifacts, and the recording of exposed areas and features. No prior archaeological experience is necessary. Participants may attend for 2 or 4 week sessions. Tuition is €700 for 2 weeks or €1300 for 4 weeks and includes room, board, and the cost of transportation within Portugal. The deadline for applications is April 15th, 2013. Both undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to apply. International students are welcome.
