Dear Students,
We invite you to participate in survey and excavation fieldwork on Skopelos, Greece, undertaken within the framework of the Ancient Skopelos Survey (ASkoS) project, in collaboration with the Ephorate of Antiquities of Magnesia of the Greek Ministry of Culture and the Universities of Heidelberg and Charles University in Prague. Fieldwork is scheduled for 31 August–26 September 2026.
More information about the ASkoS project can be found here: Ancient Skopelos Survey Archaeological Project.
This year, four undergraduate (second- and third-year BA) and MA students may participate in the fieldwork. Travel, accommodation (double and triple rooms), and meals will be covered. Participation in the project may be credited as survey or excavation field training.
Applicants are asked to send a short motivation letter to my email address by 30 April 2026, including information on their previous field experience, particularly experience with RTK GPS equipment, pottery drawing, and their level of English proficiency (a good command of English is required due to the international character of the team). Among candidates meeting the criteria, preference will be given to students specialising in Greek archaeology.
An information meeting for selected students will take place on 6 May at 12:00, in room 314 and online.
In the meantime, you are warmly invited to attend a lecture devoted to our project entitled Gates of the Wind: Connectivity and Interaction in the North Aegean from the Perspective of a New Research Project on Skopelos, Northern Sporades, which we will present during this year’s faculty conference The Past Has a Future, on Thursday, 16 April 2026, at 18:00.
Yours sincerely,
Agata Ulanowska
