Volunteers will have opportunities to participate in all aspects of archaeological ieldwork and will gain irst-hand experience in the excavation, documentation, and analysis of archaeological materials. Volunteers will also have many opportunities to develop additional skills by collaborating with CAP staff responsible for geospatial analysis, architectural survey, object conservation, environmental analysis, and database management.
