Voluntary
Archaeology overseas in Romania with Projects Abroad Volunteers
have the opportunity to carry out fieldwork, either working
on digs or assessing sites like the Saxon fortified churches
that dot the countryside around Brasov.
During
the winter work focuses on restoration and experimental
archaeology. Alongside the practical work, volunteers
write up documents and reports concerning the work they
are doing, and produce proposals for new sites in the
area. These are then presented to potential national and
international donors.
Volunteers
can also spend time in the Brasov's History Museum, helping
to update the literature and producing documents that
will encourage tourism at the archaeological sites.
The
volunteers' time is split between site excavation, analysis
of finds and museum presentations.Volunteers might also
help in the museum itself, translating documents and designing
tourist information. In order to maintain the focus on
practical aspects of archaeology, and to ensure a high
level of variety for our volunteers, it is not possible
to participate on an archaeology project in Romania during
the winter months from November to March.
During
these months, digs are not possible due to the frozen
ground. Volunteers with specific skills or those wishing
to focus on a specific research project can still be accommodated
during the winter months.
