Eligibility

Field Schools

Our field schools are immersive, month-long programs designed to provide hands-on training in archaeology and Cultural Resource Management (CRM). To ensure participants are adequately prepared and able to contribute meaningfully to the program, we require the following:

• Age Requirement: Participants must be at least 18 years old.

• Educational Background: You must be a current undergraduate student pursuing a degree in archaeology, anthropology, history, or a closely related field. Recent graduates are welcome to apply, as long as you have completed your studies within the last two years. Graduate students are also encouraged to apply. Exceptions may be made in special circumstances.

• Interest in Cultural Resource Management (CRM): Our field schools focus heavily on preparing participants for careers in CRM, so a demonstrated interest or career intent in this area is preferred.

Please note that our field schools are conducted in person and involve outdoor work. Participants should be physically capable of working in varying environmental conditions, and often include hiking, carrying tools over uneven terrain, exposure to dust and allergens, and high outside temperatures.

Workshops

Our workshops are designed to build specific technical skills that are crucial in archaeology and CRM. These shorter programs offer intensive training in specialized areas such as photogrammetry, ground-penetrating radar, and more.

• Age Requirement: All workshop participants must be at least 18 years old. Some workshops may have requirements that differ from this—please check the project page to ensure eligibility.

• Open to All Backgrounds: While a background in archaeology, anthropology, history, or related fields is helpful, it is not required for our workshops. We welcome anyone with a strong interest in learning and advancing their skills in these technical areas.

Workshops are also held in person and may involve outdoor or hands-on activities, so please be prepared for the physical demands of fieldwork, which may involve hiking, carrying tools over uneven terrain, exposure to dust and allergens, and high outside temperatures.
