Archaeological Fieldwork Opportunities Bulletin
The Archaeological Fieldwork Opportunities Bulletin (AFOB) is an annual resource designed as an excellent starting point to plan a fieldschool or
archaeological vacation. Perfect for a student or the layperson, AFOB provides an extensive list of programs that offer opportunities to excavate in
the United States and abroad. This fully indexed edition contains more than 200 fieldwork opportunities, listed under major geographic regions. Each
entry provides essential information about the site, including full contact details, the duration of the excavation, age requirements, applicable
fees, and general background information. As in past years, the 2005 AFOB also contains a fully updated list of state archaeologists, state historical
preservation officers, and archaeological organizations—all excellent resources from which to receive information about excavations not listed
