The Cefalà Diana Arab Baths Archaeology Field School 2026 offers a unique opportunity to participate in hands-on archaeological work at a site with a rich history of ancient habitation.
This Field School is open to anyone with an interest in Sicilian archaeology and ancient history—undergraduates, graduates, and enthusiasts alike, with or without prior experience. Participants will join a small, collaborative team and engage in all aspects of archaeological work: from excavation and pottery washing to drawing site plans, recording finds, and uploading data to a database. On-site and afternoon lab training ensures you learn practical skills as you go.
In addition to fieldwork, afternoon classes will cover topics such as Indigenous, Greek, Phoenician, and Arab-Norman pottery, as well as Sicilian history and archaeology. On Saturdays, we will organize educational visits to some of the most significant archaeological sites and Museums in western Sicily, including:
