FULL-Bronze Age Settlement- Slovakia
Dates: 19th June to 31st July 2010
Number of UK participants: 8
Duration: 6 weeks
The Slovak/Hungarian border town of Sahy has been the location for Grampus archaeology placements since 2001. The initial focus of these excavations was the medieval monastery, where participants have gained invaluable experience of excavating a site with complex stratigraphy and where several medieval burials have been discovered, recorded and excavated. Although the focus of the placement has now changed to a Bronze-Age site on the outskirts of the town, the following reports will give applicants a good insight into the earlier monastic excavations in Sahy and the experiences of previous UK participants living and working in this part of Slovakia. The Leonardo da Vinci funding available for these placements will cover travel (return travel from an allocated UK airport), insurance, subsistence allowance (equal to three meals a day) and accommodation.

In 2006, a new factory construction led to the discovery of a new bronze-age site on the outskirts of Sahy. Our partners in Slovakia therefore moved the focus of the excavations from the monastery to the investigation of this incredibly important site. We are delighted to be able to offer the opportunity for UK archaeology students to join the Bronze-Age excavations at Sahy again in 2010.
