The Monte Falcone Archaeology Field School 2019 (Baucina -PA-) will give you the opportunity of digging a Necropolis consisting mainly of rock cut burials dating from the 6th to the 5th century BC.
The Field School is open to everybody who is interested in Sicilian Archaeology and Ancient History. Graduates and undergraduates are welcome with or without experience. You will be part of a small team being involved in all the activities, from digging to pottery washing, from drawing plans and recording finds to uploading all the info on a database.

You will learn as you go and you will also be involved in the planning and setting up of display cases of eventual findings from the necropolis in the local museum.
There will be afternoon classes on Indigenous, Greek and Phoenician pottery, and on Sicilian History and Archaeology. On Saturdays we will visit some of the most important archaeological sites of western Sicily, in particular:
