There are very limited spaces for placements during the Spring session of Archaeology Live!
Placements during Archaeology Live! in Spring are only available to previous placements/trainees on the Hungate Archaeology Live! training excavations.
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.
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.
