2 Archaeology opportunities

1. Call for volunteers to participate in a Bronze Age cemetery excavation in
eastern Hungary

The Bronze Age Körös Off-Tell Archaeology (BAKOTA) project seeks highly

analysis. We seek participants who will do well in a co-educational
collaborative group research project, who are enthusiastic about our
program, and are willing to commit to the physical and mental demands of
the international research experience. Applicants with prior
