Archaeologist for a Day

6 h
About this activity
Professional archaeologists will take you to the site and teach you the basic skills needed to proceed with a real archaeological dig. Learn how to use the trowel and recognize layers; how to spot finds and give them an appropriate position within the chronological table. You will be able to identify ancient roman features and acknowledge the architecture of an ancient villa.

The experience is open to everybody. We have been hosting people from all over the world, passionate for archaeology and ancient history. Kids love digging, discover and getting dirty: a unique learning experience.

You will have lunch with us inside the archaeological area. We have a small kitchen we use for cooking food for our workers. You will join us at lunchtime, enjoying a truly Italian home-style set course including wine, coffee and extras according to daily availability.

The money earned from this experience will go to fund our archaeological projects. Your involvement in this project will help us to keep the site alive: restoration, research, purchase of new tools, cleaning.... all this will be possible thanks to you!
