Archaeotek is offering summer field opportunities in field archaeology and bioarchaeology in Transylvania (Romania). Here is what they are offering:

Our research looks at processes of crisis management - in terms of persistence, adaptation, creolisation, identity, spirituality, and funerary rites and rituals - in liminal space-time environments, such as the European frontier, in this case, Transylvania (Romania). We are currently interested in two major continuity breaks in the region: the first one triggered by the collapse of the Dacian Kingdoms after their final defeat in 106AD to Trajan’s legions and subsequent colonization; and the second one following the defeat of the European armies at the Battle on Mohacs in 1526 and subsequent Ottoman invasion. We are focusing on questions of transition and persistence in liminal contexts, creolization, identity and status negotiation/representation in unstable and dynamic environments, socio-cultural and spiritual adaptation as it pertains to mortality, health and salvation in times of crisis.
