Excellent Program - Worth it in every way

Feb 22, 2018

The Buncuklu field school is a perfect combination of good training and a fun, interactive experience in archaeology. Especially if this is your first field-school, I couldn't recommend it highly enough. You will find people will varying degrees of experience and knowledge, and you will all work together and form some unforgettable friendships through it. The dig directors also go far out of their way to provide you with chances to get to know archaeology, their research, the life of an archaeologist as well as Turkish culture.
