REQUIREMENTS
-
Minimum age: 20
-
No experience required
-
Training will be provided by both American
and Mongolian archaeologists
It is important that Participants are able to withstand
challenging field conditions, a moderate workload (especially hiking),
living in tents under semi-desert conditions, and a meat oriented
diet
Participants should also have a good sense of
humor and be able to cope with a country where Murphy's Law reigns
supreme.
We emphasized that this project is in a fairly
remote part of Mongolia and participants will be living in very
simple conditions
WHAT TO BRING
It may be very hot and sunny in the daytime. Survey
and excavations are in the open , so we recommend hats and shirts
with long sleeves for working. It is rather dusty (or after rain
– muddy). We recommend closed shoes or boots for walking and
sandals for relaxing. Nights can be quite cool so bring a sweater,
sweatshirts and a jacket. The camp, has no electricity so you will
need a flashlight. You must bring a tent, your sleeping ba,g and
an air mattress (f you desired).
