During this archaeological field school, students are introduced to the basic skills of practical archaeological fieldwork, which are taught by both theoretical introduction to the principles of archaeological field research and practical induction to the techniques used in the field during a training excavation. Skills taught include the ergonomical use of excavation tools, knowledge and application of general health and safety legislation on archaeological excavations, the correct recognition, removal and documentation of archaeological stratigraphy, the correct recognition and documentation of contexts and finds by way of written, drawn, photographic and electronic documentation, and the correct recovery and administration of finds, features and other relevant data. For successful completion, 3 week participation on the excavation and proven reading of at least 2 of the items on the reading list (Barmer 1993; Collis 2004; Drewett 1999; Roskams 2001) is required.
