Apologies for the long silence – things have been very busy. I’ll try and write a post on recent Western Sahara developments and gossip soon.
In the meantime, I want to advertise the fact that the Western Sahara Project is looking for volunteers for a season on fieldwork in October 2009. We are looking for volunteers to help with archaeological excavations and also with archaeological and environmental reconnaissance work. No experience is necessary – volunteers will work with experienced archaeologists and environmental scientists and all necessary training will be given. Excavations will last for 4 weeks, and reconnaissance survey for 3 weeks. You can volunteer for either excavations or reconnaissance. This season will be funded entirely by the contributions of volunteers. Costs will be comparable to those of a high-end adventure holiday or volunteering on a conservation project.
For more information, take a look at the Project website (http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/~e118/WS/WSahara.htm) and drop me a line if you’re interested.
