During this archaeological field school 2, students are trained for independent directorship of archaeological excavations and other kinds of fieldwork. The skills required are taught both by theoretical introduction and practical induction of trench supervision and similar management tasks on site. Skills taught include independent risk assessment for the area under supervision by the student, securing that part of the site, on site iduction of site workers concerning health and safety regulations. The student is - supervised by the site directors responsible for the correct excavation of the area assigned, including the supervision and management of staff working in that area (including such participating in field school 1) and the general management of the data collected during the excavation of the assigned part of the site. To successfully complete field school 2, 3 weeks attendance and proven reading of at least 3 of the books on the reading list on excavation (Barker 1993; Collis 2004; Drewett 1999; Roskams 2001) and of the literature on health and safety on archaeological excavation (Hemmers et al. 2006; Rheinischer Gemeindeunfallversicherungsverband 2005) is required.
