PEATS Slovakia – Archaeological excavation in Slovakia (Šahy) (15 July to 4 August 2024)

Bronze Age settlement (Hatvan Culture)

Basic Accommodation: Room sharing in a chalet at the Kingfisher centre, Sahy

Meals: self catering

Communication: Wifi is available in the main centre building

Transport: A van is made available to the group to get to and from site and for local travel, so some participants will need to have a drivers licence and are expected to share the driving. Public transport is available for excursions

Flights: Grampus will email students with a flight option that fits within the travel grant and which arrives at a time that suits the host. Students are welcome to look for alternative flights, but the arrival times must match those of the offered flight and be within the travel grant. Students have to fund their own way to the UK airport

Weather: Warmer than the UK, can be between 25-35 degrees C but be prepared for rain

Flights: from London or Manchester to Budapest

Funding: The Turing grant will cover accommodation, food (3 meals a day), return, flights, insurance, transport to site and supervision. Participants will have to make sure they have their EHI or GHI card and budget for personal purchases and excursions.
