Field School in Ireland

Sharing this announcement from the Blackfriary field school in Ireland:

The Blackfriary Archaeology Field School is part of the award-winning Blackfriary Community Heritage and Archaeology Project (BCHAP) in the town of Trim, County Meath, Ireland. Focusing on the buried remains of the 13th century AD/CE Dominican friary and associated graveyard, the field school is suitable for students from a wide range of backgrounds including archaeology, history, anthropology, and forensics – and for students looking for a unique study abroad experience. As participants in a public archaeology project, students are actively engaged with our outreach activities on site. They are also housed with families in Trim, allowing them to integrate with the local community.
We are offering three courses in summer 2022 (BAFS Summer courses). A two-week introductory course runs from 9 May to 4 August. Students can opt to do a 4-week course which combines the introductory course with a 2-week advanced course, running from 9 May to 22 June and from 6 – 30 June. These provide training in excavation and post-excavation methods. A five-week course, from 3 July to 4 August 2023, has a significant bioarchaeology component taught by Dr. Rachel Scott of DePaul University, Chicago. For more information, see:
