Internships in Turkey

Archaeological Conservation Student Internships (2 positions)
Turkey Summer 2016

The Japanese Institute of Anatolian Archaeology expedition is
seeking two conservation student interns for the summer of 2016.
Priority will be given to students currently enrolled in a
conservation program.  Students must be fluent in the English
language.

In 2009 excavation of two new mound sites commenced, Yassihoyuk and
Buklukale, located approximately 20-30 km from Kaman in Central
Anatolia, in addition to Kalehoyuk which has been ongoing since
1986.  The primary cultural levels are Hittite, Phrygian, and
Islamic.  Interns have the opportunity to participate in an active
conservation program that emphasizes fieldwork, preventive
approaches to archaeological conservation, and research.

The internships can last from four to six weeks and can take place
from August 1 - September 10, 2016.

The excavation provides a stipend of $US 40 per day, based on a six
day workweek.

Students participate in the everyday conservation activities of the
field lab.  A well-equipped field lab and comfortable living
facilities compensate the long workday (starting at 5 am).

Students have the opportunity to collaborate with an international
team of archaeologists, osteoarchaeologists, archaeobotanists, etc.
English is the primary language at the site.  Students are requested
to cover the cost of their room and board ($10 per day, 7 days per
week), all transportation costs, visa (varies with nationality), and
residence fee (varies with nationality, between $150 and $200$)

Interns perform a research project that begins prior to arriving at
the site.  Depending on the project developed between the intern and
the excavation's Conservation Director, this first phase may consist
of a literature review.  The research provides an opportunity to
gain familiarity with the site prior to arrival, and contributes in
a beneficial way to our conservation program.  A field component of
the research is designed into each project, to be implemented on
site.  The research results in a formal report submitted to the
excavation's journal, Anatolian Archaeological Studies, published by
the Japanese Institute of Anatolian Archaeology, to be completed by
October 31, 2016.

Applicants should email a Curriculum Vitae, a short letter of
interest, and names and email addresses for three professional
references by November 20, 2015.

Questions concerning the internship should be sent by email.
Interns will be selected before the end of November 2015 since visa
applications must be submitted the end of November 2015.
