Don’t miss the adventure!

Have you ever wondered about ancient civilizations, the mysteries and legends of the past? Have you dreamt of travelling and adventures? Have you ever been to archaeological sites and seen the remains of settlements where people lived hundreds or thousands of years ago? You can experience this all, if you want, with the World Association of Archaeologists. We have arranged a new archaeological expedition to Central Asia and we have twenty vacancies for students who are interested in taking part in our research project.

Who can apply? - Anyone who meets the following requirements:

• You should be either a school student or a university / vocational school student

• You should be 16+

• You should be keen on archaeology (alternatively — history, geology, architecture, ecology)

• You should be fit and free of serious health problems, which could make staying in high temperatures potentially dangerous for you

• You should be able to work in a team and be environmentally friendly; a good sense
of humour is very much appreciated

• You should be adventurous enough to spend your summer in a desert

What jobs are offered to the students?

Students can do lots of jobs on the site: dig for items, help to restore the items, assist the professional researchers in listing the finds, making reports and writing descriptions. If you let us know about your preferences, we’ll keep this information in mind
when we allocate the jobs and responsibilities. All necessary training is provided by
experienced researchers. The Association also supplies digging tools and equipment
as well as work wear and boots appropriate for the desert.

What are the living conditions?

All the participants of the project are provided with food and drinking water. They
are accommodated in spacious tents (usually four people share one tent). We are very
careful about hygiene and safety; a doctor’s services are available in the camp itself.
In case of emergency, we guarantee immediate transportation to the city hospital and
treatment there. All the costs are paid by the insurance company.
