Placements are available to previous trainees on the St Leonard's, St Mary's, St Saviour's or Hungate Archaeology Live! training excavations or people with experience of single context recording who want to pursue a career in the profession.
The placements will be assisting the trainers on site and helping out wherever else is necessary. This is a very good opportunity for those who feel they would like more experience in how an archaeological site works, and previous placements have found paid work because of the experience they have gained.
There is often confusion as to what a 'placement' is and people will sometimes use the term 'placement' when they mean 'trainee'. Within the Archaeology Live! project a 'placement' is somebody who has already been trained in archaeological excavation and has appropriate archaeological experience.
Accommodation is available as for the trainees, and there is a one-off £20 administrative cost for all placements.
To apply for a Placement position on the excavation, a CV with an accompanying covering letter must be sent (e-mail is acceptable) to the contact address below. Make sure that you say why you want to be a placement and why you would be good for the project within your cover letter. The selection process may include an informal telephone interview.
Placement applications will continue to be accepted until all spaces are filled.
