Are you looking for travel and adventure? Are you wanting to get your hands dirty in an archaeological dig? Why don't you combine a vacation or a summer of study with being an archaeological volunteer.

You can find locations needing your services by traveling around the world or just around the block. There is something for almost everybody. Some volunteer positions offer certification toward a continuing education and others just offer the experience.

You may not have decided on an archaeological career yet and are looking for some field and travel experience to help you make the decision. You just might find it here. You may not even be considering an archaeological career but are looking for something different and exotic in the way of travel and vacations. You too may just find what you are looking for here.

Some opportunities may already be filled and the dates in the past, but it will still give you an idea of what is out there and these people can still be contacted for future plans. What you will find here is only a sample of what is available.
