Year 2 placements
Year 2 placements usually take place during the summer following your second year of study, although some are available during term-time.
In Semester 1, students are invited to apply for our Garstang Museum placements, and Professor Baird contacts students about our Turkey excavations.
In Semester 2, we hold a Year 2 fieldwork meeting in February to present placement options on offer that year. Students then select their 1st and 2nd choices. If a placement is over-subscribed, a 100-word statement may be requested, to aid the project director in their final decision.
Decisions around placements are made in advance of the Easter break.
Recent placements have included:
- Garstang Museum of Archaeology
- The British Museum
- Portable Antiquities Scheme
- University of Liverpool Heritage Collections
- Excavations at Pinarbasi and Mendik, Turkey
- Excavations at Little Crosby Hall, Liverpool (site assistant roles)
- Excavations at Wogan’s Cavern, Pembrokeshire
- Survey of the Plas Maen rock art panel
- Excavations at Olynthos, Greece.
