Review: ArqueoExperiences Field School, Cerro de la Muela

4/8/2015

 
* This review was written by Francesca, a student at Montclair State University in New Jersey. She will be graduating this May and plans to pursue museum curatorial and archival work.

FIELD SCHOOL & WEBSITE: ArqueoExperiences Field School- Cerro de la Muela
LOCATION: Carrascosa del Campo, Spain
LENGTH & DATES: Sessions varying from 3 to 6 weeks in length will be offered in July and August of 2015
STAFF: Catalina Urquijo (BA) and Dioniso Urbina (PhD)
COST: Cost ranges from 1,290€  ($1,389 USD) to 2,490€ ($2,682 USD) depending on the number of weeks you attend; price includes room and board, transfer to and from the airport, daily transportation, excursions, and seminars.


Tell us about your field school experience.

Overall, I had a great field school experience. At first it made me nervous going to another country alone with no clue who else would be in the program, but immediately I felt welcomed by one of the directors, Catalina who spoke English extremely well. The program itself was definitely a peek into the lives of archaeologists, waking up at sunrise and working until it became too hot to continue, and no matter how much we complained I think everyone still had a great time every single day and enjoyed themselves.


What skills did you learn?


Aerial photography analysis, transects, excavation methodology, conservation, reconstruction, cataloging of artifacts and buildings, drawing artifacts and site plans, restoration with lime & salt extraction, stratigraphy recognition, community involvement public speaking.


How were the accommodations?

Originally the website advertised a beautiful villa that would be where we would stay, but upon arrival we were told there was some conflict with booking it and we were relocated to a house nearby in the town square. It was not as gorgeous as the original place looked, but it was still nice and convenient in a central location nearby multiple bars which was useful because two of them had wifi to use. (Where we stayed did not have wifi.) They had a laundry service come in weekly which was great because after a few days all of your work clothes will be pale brown with dust. The daily meals were very accommodating for meat-eaters and vegetarians alike, and there are a few shops in the small town where you can buy your own snacks or toiletries.


What are the pros and cons of this field school?

Pros: Amazing price that really can’t be beat. Including accommodations, daily meals, and excursions the total cost is amazing compared to schools of similar length. There is a bus that runs to and from Madrid so if you and your friends can master the subway lines, you can explore one weekend. The town gives a membership to the pool, so after work you can choose to siesta for a bit or cool off in the community pool. The locals are generally accommodating and friendly; our group was even invited to a cocktail party of sorts in one of the towns many caves to taste some homemade wine and make new friends! There are also a lot of artifacts within the site we worked on (Cerro de la Muela), so every day we would come to the site excited with what we would find next.

Cons: It would have been nice to have be notified beforehand of the change of housing as well as maybe a Facebook group created so we could meet and connect with those who would be attending our sessions. It would definitely alleviate some nervousness and be cool to speak with people you would be meeting soon. Other than that, it was as expected and a great experience.


Would you recommend it?

You cannot get a better experience for the price and it is absolutely great to gain close relationships with the attendees as well as the two directors of the program who really make the whole thing fun and educational. They are so knowledgeable in their work and the processes they teach you throughout the course, you will not leave without the valuable information you came for!


Anything else you think readers should know about this field school?


The food will be very pork-based everywhere you go, so keep that in mind. If you attend, bandanas are highly recommended because the site gets extremely dusty and difficult to breathe in. Also, the school itself is located in a very rural area. The directors, Catalina and Dionisio, make sure to break this up with weekend field trips to different places which are always as much fun as they are informative, but if you are looking for a school where you can go off on your own in a very large city after work or on the weekends that is not possible. At the end of the program you can be dropped off at an airport or in Madrid where I recommend you spend at least a few days sightseeing, as I did, or taking a bus, train, or plane to Barcelona, as a few of my schoolmates did.

Review: Balkan Heritage Field School's Apollonia Pontica Excavation Project

3/26/2015

 
* This review was written by Matthew, a PhD student studying Roman archaeology at UNC Chapel Hill. Matthew received his Master's in Classics from the University of Arizona and BA in Archaeology from the University of Evansville. His research interests focus on Roman archaeology and architecture from the late Republic into the High Empire. Matthew participated in Balkan Heritage's Heraclea Lyncestis project as an undergraduate, and worked as a square supervisor and field instructor at last summers Apollonia Pontica project. Thanks, Matthew!

FIELD SCHOOL & WEBSITE: Balkan Heritage Field School's Apollonia Pontica Excavation Project 
LOCATION: St. Kirik Island, Sozopol, Bulgaria
AFFILIATIONS: Balkan Heritage Foundation, Apollonia Pontica excavation team, Archaeological Museum of Sozopol, New Bulgarian University
LENGTH & DATES: Session I: 27 June - 11 July 2015; Session II: 11 - 25 July 2015; Session III: 27 June - 18 July 2015 
HISTORY: The first archaeological survey on the island was conducted in 1904 by the French consul and scholar L. Degrand. The results from the excavations were never published and many artefacts from Archaic and Classical Greek period found there were transported to France and exhibited in the Louvre. For approximately 100 years after that the territory of St. Kirik Island was used as a military zone by the Bulgarian Ministry of Defence. In 2005 the island was demilitarized and in 2009 the Apollonia Pontica Excavation Team lead by Dr. Krastina Panayotova restarted the excavations.
CURRENT PROJECT: This season, the project will likely include excavations at the top of the island, in the area of the Archaic and Classical Greek and Hellenistic temples, Ancient Greek Copper Foundry, and the Early Christan basilica and necropolis. 
STAFF: The dig is directed by Krastina Panayotova, professor and head of the Department of Classical Archaeology, National Institute of Archaeology and Museum, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. 
COST: 1189 EUR (Approximately $1,329 USD)
CREDITS: Up to 9 credits from New Bulgarian University 


Tell us about your field school experience.

In July 2014 I participated in Balkan Heritage's Apollonia Pontica project on St. Kirik Island off of Sozopol, Bulgaria as a square supervisor and field instructor. I had taken part in the project in the same capacity the previous year but for only two weeks at the beginning of August. Since the excavation season of August 2013 was such an interesting experience and had yielded impressive new finds, I was excited to return to the site to see for myself what had been done during the second two weeks of the previous August and to do further field work at the site. The site is an attractive one since the early 19th century naval academy sits above basilica remains belonging to Late Antiquity and remains from an Archaic period sanctuary to Apollo. Despite a ferocious thunderstorm and the consequent flooding of the excavations squares at the site for the next two days, the dig season was a success, resulting in the find of a large retaining wall perhaps associated with early activity at the site as well as numerous interesting small finds. The whole team worked well together and enjoyed their time both at the site and off.

While not at work the team enjoyed time to walk around and spend time on the beach at seaside Sozopol, which was founded as the Greek colony of Apollonia Pontica in the mid-late 7th century BC. Weekend trips took the dig participants to nearby sites such as the Thracian rock sanctuary of Begliktash and Nesebar, which was founded as the Greek colony Messambria around the time of Apollonia Pontica's foundation. Thus, the project's participants were able to get an idea of the broader history of the region as well as that of Sozopol. Those participants who had returned to the project for another year were able to take additional trips in the area, too, to other towns that started off as Greek colonies, Achtopol (ancient Agathapolis) and Pomorie (ancient Anchialos).



What skills did you learn?

In my work on St. Kirik I continued to gain experience digging and filling out field documentation. For example, this last season I gained experience in uncovering and interpreting architectural structures (in this case a perimeter wall) that stretched into multiple squares. My squaremates gained experience in digging and written documentation as well as in drawing and photo documentation. Although no graves were uncovered this dig season, in August 2013 I had the chance to help with the excavation of a couple of Late Antique Christian burials of a young adult and child. During the middle two weeks of that dig season the two burials were thoroughly and effectively excavated by my square mates.



How were the accommodations?

Accommodations for the team were divided between a guest house and military academy hotel in the newer part of the town. Most of the team was housed in the guest house, which was located only a couple streets away from the military hotel. The rooms were simple but nice, and most had small patios. The internet was for the most part reliable, and the guest house had a common room with patio on the top floor. Although at times our gatherings (ex. karaoke night) were a bit too loud for the landlord's liking (and she was sure to let us know how she felt), this common area was an enjoyable place to hang out after a good day of work. This area was also where most of the project's educational lectures were held. Our meals were provided at a restaurant up the hill from the guest house.



What are the pros and cons of this field school?

In general I was quite happy with the field school last summer. The site was always exciting for me to visit, and Sozopol is a nice little town with good restaurants, some shopping opportunities, and interesting cultural highlights (ex. ruins and a museum). I also enjoyed the weekend trips that I was able to take with the group in the area since numerous historical sites are located on the Black Sea coast.

As far as cons go, there were only a few that I noted. One is that the hotel's internet could be a bit elusive at times while another is that the BH team did not have the whole guest house to itself and thus had to be a bit cautious at night so as not to disturb other hotel patron, which curbed a bit the fun we were able to have on Youtube karaoke night. Another complaint of some participants was that the food at the restaurant we ate at for all our meals was often overly filling and at times a bit boring (as in they got too used to having some of the same dishes).



Would you recommend it?

I would certainly recommend this field school project to anyone who is interested in the history and archaeology of Bulgaria, ancient Thrace, particularly in the region's Late Antique and Archaic Greek periods. Despite some minor complaints from some project participants (which mostly regarded food), everyone from the project's three sessions enjoyed the project. As I mentioned before, a few participants from the August 2013 season enjoyed their experience so much that they returned for the July 2014 season.

FIELD SCHOOL & WEBSITE: Balkan Heritage Field School's Ancient Greeks in the Land of Dionysus 
          Project- Excavation of Emporion Pistiros, Thrace
LOCATION: Emporion Pistiros, between the small towns of Septemvri and Vetren, Southern Bulgaria
AFFILIATIONS: Balkan Heritage Foundation, National Archaeological Institute, Bulgarian Academy of 
          Sciences, Pazardzhik Regional Museum of History, Septemvri Archaeological Museum "Prof.
          Mieczyslaw Domaradzki","Pistiros" Association, New Bulgarian University (Bulgaria), Queen's

LENGTH & DATES: Session I: 26 July – 9 August 2015; Session II: 9-23 August 2015; Session III: 26 July
          – 16 August 2015 
HISTORY: The ruins of an ancient Greek trade center (emporion) in the heart of Thrace were discovered 
          by Prof. M. Domaradzki in 1988. He started regular excavations and in 1990 his team found a stone 
          inscription (known as "Vetren inscription") that helped the scholars to identify the site as the Ancient 
          Greek emporion named Pistiros. Merchants from Greek coastal cities of Maroneia, Thassos and 
          Apollonia lived and traded there with their Thracian neighbors under the supreme protection of the 
          Thracian Odryssean kings (the biggest and mightiest Thracian Kingdom at that time). 
CURRENT PROJECT In 2015 the Ancient Greeks in the Land of Dionysus - Excavation of Emporion 
          Pistiros, Thrace Project envisions further excavation one of the following site's areas: (1) the South-
          Eastern sector - an area next to the fortification wall with higher concentration of cult artifacts and 
          features, (2) the Central sector of the site, where remains of the earliest period of the emporion's 
          existence are expected to be found, (3) the Extramural sector (outside of the fortification wall), where
          archaeologists aim to collect further data about the settlement structure and history.

Tell us about your field school experience.

I worked on a project called Ancient Greeks in the Land of Dionysos - Excavation of Emporiom Pistiros, Thrace. It is a classical Hellenistic site dating between the 5th and 3rd c. B.C.E. It is located in southern Bulgaria just outside the town of 
Septemvri. It seems to be a location where Greek merchants traded with the Odryssian kingdom of Thrace. This site was an important metal extraction location on the banks of the Hebros River. In antiquity, the river was much larger and more navigable than it is today. There was a fortification wall around the city that measured about 300 by 400 meters square. The site itself was only discovered after an inscription was found in a farmer's field not far from the site, which was once a Roman road. The inscription discusses the founding of the city and the only documented mention of the Thracian royal court. 

The site itself is extremely influential to Bulgarian history and more specifically to for Thracian history. As a beginning student in the field of archaeology, the site provided ample opportunities to learn and experience different methods in archaeology. We spent time excavating on the site between 7:30 and 1:00 each day and then had nightly lectures on a variety of different topics. On the day off each week we were taken on excursions throughout Bulgaria to visit museums and learn Bulgarian cultural history. During our time off we found exploring the town, hiking into the local woods, visiting the nearby Hot Springs, swimming in the river, playing games at the hotel pool, testing different local foods, and making friends with the many stray cats to be quite entertaining. I really enjoyed my experience because I learned so much about archaeology, made some great friends, and established a love for the country of Bulgaria.
 

What skills did you learn?

Through the Balkan Heritage Field School I learned a large array of different field techniques and research methods. The program was set up so that we spent Monday through Saturday working at the site. Each day began early in the morning with breakfast and transportation to the site. Then, before we started our daily excavation would be briefed about new field techniques that would be used throughout the day. The rest of the day was spent on the site excavating in small groups under the direction of one of the Balkan heritage staff members and the site director. During the daily excavations we learned about proper excavation methods, we learned how to draw vertical and horizontal unit drawings, analyze stratigraphic layers, and use tools to measure the exact location of our finds.  Each day we kept complete journals. We received a break midway through the day and afterwards we would clean or sort artifacts. One day, we were also lucky enough to be shown the soil flotation process at the site. One afternoon we also learned how to survey a field near the excavation site and on another occasion we surveyed an area of the little village that we stayed in.

The daily field excavations provided all of the skills necessary to work on any field project. However, there were also other lecturers and excursions to further our knowledge. After we returned from the site and ate lunch there was a daily lecture, which ranged in discussion from the history of the site, to laboratory methods, and conservation and reconstruction workshops. The lectures brought in professors, museum curators, and professional archaeologists from important institutions in Bulgaria as well as from the international teams working at the site. On days where there is not a lecture we were usually taken to local museums or other sites said that we could learn about other finds in the area.

Finally, each Sunday was spent on an excursion to places such as Plovdiv or the Rose Valley. During each one of these excursions we were exposed to multiple museums and galleries. We were also taken to other archaeological sites and ancient Thracian tombs. The excursions allowed us to gain a greater understanding of the region as a whole, the archaeology throughout the region, and to gain a better understanding of Bulgarian culture. In the cities and towns where we would stop we were also able to explore and purchase souvenirs to take home.
 

How were accommodations?

When I attended the Emporia Pistiros field school in the summer of 2013 we stayed in a small village called the Vavara, which was located several kilometers from the actual site. We stayed at a local hotel that provided three authentic Bulgarian meals a day. There rooms accommodated 2 to 3 people. Overall they were spacious, clean, in each had its own bathroom. The hotel also had a pool where many students spent the afternoon relaxing after spending all day at the site excavating. The town was also small and friendly. Many afternoons we would walk through town looking at the gardens and buying chocolate in the local shops. The people in the town and in the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful. Transportation was provided to and from the site each day as well.

This year, the accommodations are at "Villa Terres", which is a newly built tourism complex, located in the southern part of the village Karabunar, 8 km from the motorway exit "Trakia" on the way to Velingrad. During the project workdays all participants will be given a lift from the hotel to the site (that is located 14 km away) and back.  Based on the experience that I had I am sure that the accommodations will be excellent and well situated as they were in the past. 


What are the pros and cons of this Field School? Would you recommend it?

Overall, this field school was excellent. The Balkan Heritage Foundation strives to make the best possible experience for students. They provide tons of opportunities to learn about archaeology field techniques and laboratory methods as well as immersing students into the Bulgarian culture.
 
The only complaints I have from this field school are in regards to the limited time available. I spent four weeks in Bulgaria working with this field school and that was only enough time to scratch the surface. I was lucky enough to get to work the entire time on a single unit because I learned about the process from the beginning but I would have liked to see where the project went. The skills and techniques that we learned had to be written down in detail because we were unable to practice or review them a lot. I believe this is a problem with most field schools. There is so much that they wanted teach us but limited time in which to perfect the technique. However, it established a firm base from which to continue working. I would have also liked to receive an update or site report from Emporia Pistiros because the site now holds great importance for me.

I would most definitely recommend this field school to anyone whether there are beginners or more advanced. It provides opportunities to learn hands-on enter perfect skills in the field. Although Bulgaria may not seem like a common destination for field schools it was the perfect location to learn a new set of skills among people who truly cared about the field. The Balkan Heritage Field School provided an environment that was both welcoming and friendly. The staff members are more than willing to help you with anything that you need and explain different parts of archaeology. They were extremely outgoing to ensure that you had a good experience and you learned as much as they could possibly provide in the limited time available. This field school provided a breakdown of all of the essential aspects of archaeology. As I have progressed into a graduate program I realize that this experience really prepared me for the field of archaeology. At the same time, is a wonderful environment for archaeology enthusiasts and not just students.

 
Anything else you think readers should know about this field school?

I would note that the earlier someone applies for the field schools there are more discounts on the price of tuition. There also discounts for things such as doing multiple sessions. As is, this field school is extremely affordable and well worth the cost. It caters for beginning students to advanced and archaeology hobbyists or enthusiasts.

Tell us about your field school experience.

The experience I had at this field school is one that I will remember for the rest of my life.  You will walk away from this with lifetime friends and great memories.  As for the nitty gritty, we worked at multiple sites found along a mile long canyon (Eagle Nest Canyon) that connects to the Rio Grande.  Some of these sites are known worldwide for their cultural importance and for their spectacular rock art. I was able to take part in documenting all they have to tell us about the peoples who lived in or near these canyon systems over the course of the past 13,000 years and that is a great feeling. 

As for the day to day operation, the group was separated into different teams working at different sites in and along Eagle Nest Canyon. Each team would experience a different side of archaeology. One week would be upland sites, one would be at a rock shelter, and another would be surveying.  At the end of the week, we would switch and get to experience something different. Usually, work in the field was from sunrise to about 2-3pm and we would head back to campus, which is a 20 minute drive (Transportation was provided).  After arriving at campus, there was time to clean ourselves up before lab work began.  After lab, dinner was served.  I cannot tell you how your experience will differ from mine, but we ate very well.  As soon as dinner was finished, we would all head to the conference room for lectures.  Almost every day, a different specialist would come in and blow our minds.  As quickly as the day began, it was over.  

Usually once a week, we would take a field trip to one or a couple of sites in the area that has been previously excavated by ASWT or is famous for its rock art.  These trips were incredibly informative and helped paint a broad picture of the cultural landscape. 



What skills did you learn?

In the field, we learned how to sample and document archaeological sites and deposits through both traditional and cutting edge methods. Traditional methods included laying out excavation units, sketch mapping, hand excavations, and stratigraphic profiling.  Cutting edge methods included digital data entry on tablets, 3D mapping through structure from motion, and mapping artifacts and excavation units with the use of a total data station.

In the lab, we learned standard archaeological laboratory procedures, including record-keeping, cataloguing, and curation of the artifacts themselves as well as the digital and paper data. Each student is required to keep a detailed field journal that served many roles.

I not only walked away with these skills but many others that have been incredibly helpful to me since field school.  These include but aren’t limited to establishing a research design, plant use and identification, geomorphology, and critical thinking.  


How were accommodations?

The field school was held at the secluded Harrington Research Campus, owned by the Shumla Rock Art Research and Education Center near the Pecos River.  The campus sits on a 66 acre property filled with hiking trails and incredible views of the desert. There are four buildings total including separate men’s and women’s bathroom with showers, library and conference center, kitchen and pavilion area, and a bunkhouse divided by sex.  There is the option to sleep in your own tent or borrow a large canvas tent if you would like some privacy. Cots are comfortable and are provided.  There is Wi-Fi, but very slow due to satellite connection.  You will only get cell phone reception if you have AT&T as a provider and that is only in a couple of locations. Everyone took turns helping with cooking and cleaning which wasn’t that bad.
 

What are the Pros and Cons of this Field School? Would you recommend it?

First and foremost, the archaeology is some of the best and most well preserved in North America. Being situated near three major rivers (Rio Grande, Pecos, and Devils River) in a desert makes it a prime candidate for intensive prehistoric occupation and preservation.  You will also learn a wealth of knowledge from some of the top people in their respective fields.  One of the things I enjoyed the most is hearing about the landscape from so many different perspectives.  We had a different specialist give a lecture and focus on a specific aspect every day (Rock art specialist, ethnobotanist, geoarchaeologist, etc…).  Lastly, the landscape is truly spectacular!  The steep canyons and crystal clear rivers are both breathtaking and quite refreshing.  


Although I consider these to be pros, some may consider the following to be troublesome. First, the closest town is about 50 minutes from campus and you will only have time to go on the weekends. Some may consider the wifi and cell reception mentioned above an issue as well.  The only thing I can say I wish was better was for there to be air conditioning in the bunkhouses.  If you are built like me, a personal fan is a must. At the same time, what do you expect when being out in the desert?

Without a doubt in my mind I would recommend this field school.  The archaeological preservation is phenomenal, you will learn so much, and the scenery is incredible. 
 

Anything else you think readers should know about this field school?

Field School is what you make of it.  You can see it as just a requirement to finish your coursework, or you can see it as something so much bigger. For me, I chose the latter.  I looked at it as an opportunity to work in an incredible area and I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for this opportunity.

9 Reasons You Should go to Field School

2/26/2015

4 Comments

 
Recently, as I was brainstorming ideas for ArchaeoDirt, I posed a question on Twitter about how my fellow Twitter archaeologists came to attend the field schools that they did.

Meghan made an interesting observation that stuck with me: "In retrospect, we weren't told WHY we needed a field school." 
Picture
This rang very true to me. Thinking back to my undergrad days, I knew I needed to go to field school because it was just something that everyone did. I wanted to be an archaeologist, and I saw field school as one of the motions I had to go through to get there.

If you stumbled upon this post because you're an undergrad looking into field schools, I hope you'll go into things a little better informed than I was. Field school can be very expensive, so if you're going to do it, it's good to consider why it's important for your future career and professional development.
So, without further ado, why do you need to go to field school?
