Project Description:
The Corinth Excavations of the American School are looking for advanced graduate students to serve as supervisors during the spring 2025 field season. The season is divided into three four-week sessions, each comprising three weeks of excavation and one week of analysis, synthesis, and clean-up. Session I will run from April 6 to May 2; Session II from May 4 to May 30; and Session III from June 1 to June 27. Applicants may request to stay for one or more sessions.
At Corinth, experienced local workers are entrusted with most of the actual digging, while supervisors are expected to maintain a synchronous record of the fieldwork with the aid of the iDig app. Supervisors are also expected to work with the Director and Associate Director in processing the context pottery and other small finds from their area and in producing a synthetic report on their area at the end of each session.
Additional information regarding the responsibilities of the supervisors and the daily work schedule can be found at https://www.ascsa.edu.gr/excavations/ancient-corinth/about-the-excavations-1/information-for-excavators-and-volunteers.
Accommodations are provided in the two guest houses of the excavation compound and meals are provided 5 days a week.
Review of applications will begin January 15, 2025, and will continue until the positions are filled.
Applicants can expect to receive notification after February 15, 2025.
Period(s) of Occupation: Excavation in 2025 will continue in the area northeast of the theater, where work was initiated in 2018.
