has anyone ever heard or done of an architecture student working at an archaeological dig site as a summer internship? i heard about it from a friend of mine a couple years ago, about doing it in south america, and i'm currently looking for more information about it.
does anyone know anything about what it would be like, what i would be doing, how to go about finding a site, or anything about the general process? i'm looking online but having a tough time finding anything relatively concrete
no, but if its an elective then go for it. especially if its just for a summer...
my greek history professor did archeological digs in greece. i never went on them because i couldn't afford them, but it was just part of a regular course. 3 credits, no fuss no muss. so i guess if you want to do some archeology i would go to the archeology dept and ask whats going on and how to sign up. should be as easy as that.
One of my professors my last semester at IIT regularly went to Greece every summer to help out at an archaeological dig, and I think he even took a few students this past summer. I know he did some work in Ghana as well, but I cannot remember if it was archaeological in nature...

I think there is a professor at Notre Dame who takes a group out West every summer...
Just apprentice at a rapid prototyping company, and spend your time extracting models from the z printers. Same idea, just more architectural.
