Recruitment 2025

If you study and/or love archaeology and the outdoors, are fit, healthy and athletic and can cope with heavy physical work some of the time in return for first-hand experience of world-class archaeological remains, and would like some training in excavation, conservation and other heritage skills, please apply by APRIL 20, 2025. Interviews will be held via Skype throughout April and the decisions about participants will be made by the end of April 2025.

Preference will be given to those with a serious dedicated interest in archaeology and/or some experience in fieldwork.

You need to supply your return travel costs to Crete and travel insurance. We supply food (usually via a weekly stipend) and accommodation for the whole period of your volunteering with us. A participation fee covers transport, training, some equipment, and some weekend group meals and trips. It varies according to level of experience but is usually about £250.

We will collect and return you to Malia on the north coast of Crete by car.

Start date is 9 June 2025 and the end of the project will be 18 July 2025. 2 3-week work blocks are available starting 9 June. You must arrive and depart at a weekend.
