Two internships in archaeological conservation are available at the
Institute for Aegean Prehistory Study Centre for East Crete (INSTAP
SCEC) during the summer of 2015.  These internships are available
for 6-8 weeks between June 1 and July 31, 2015.

The conservation lab is responsible for material excavated by
several American and Greek teams, including those working at
Mochlos, Azoria, and Gournia.  Interns participate fully in the work
of the lab, which includes lifting fragile artifacts on site,
examining and treating priority finds, and dialogue with material
specialists.  The lively INSTAP SCEC offers interns the chance to
meet students and experts in a variety of fields from many different
universities.  It also hosts a summer lecture series, has an
excellent library and is a good base for exploring the archaeology
of Crete.

Applicants must be recent graduates of, or currently enrolled in, a
conservation degree program.

They should also be able to communicate and carry out conservation
documentation in English.
