Volunteers in archaeology - Orkney

[BAJR Host]

**Archaeological Volunteer Opportunities in Orkney**

There are a limited number of spaces left for volunteers on the research-led
excavation of a Neolithic settlement on the island of Wyre, Orkney. This is a
fantastic opportunity to take part in the excavation of a Neolithic site in a
unique island environment and further develop your professional skills in
archaeology. Experience in digging prehistoric sites is preferable but being
able to work as part of a team is essential.

Food will be provided Monday - Friday during the working week. There are limited
funds available to help with accommodation and travel costs in getting to
Orkney, but this will be on a first come first served basis, so get in touch
soon! The dig will run between 25th August - 19th September 2008.

If you are interested in applying or would like more information, please contact
Antonia Thomas on antonia.thomas@orkney.uhi.ac.uk, with a brief CV and details
of why you would be interested in taking part. I look forward to hearing from
you!

Deadline of July 14th

Having worked in the Orkneys before I must recomend it to everyone who hasn't worked there before. Some amazing scenery and lovely people on the island...if I wasnt headig to Cyprus I'd be heading there.

P.S.

The archaeology is amazing as well.

May god go with you in all the dark places you must walk.
