Longwood University

"The Longwood Archaeology Field School experience is invaluable, no matter where you choose to participate. I engaged in fieldwork in the beautiful British Virgin Islands in the summer of 2005. The session equipped me with the basic tools I needed to successfully execute archaeological fieldwork, whether it be in the Caribbean or anywhere else for that matter. "

"I had a great expierence with the field school. It really moved me to see the world around me."

" Field school is definitely something everyone should do at least once in their life. It's such a fun experience, plus it teaches the basics to archaeology, making new friends and strenghtening the old friendships, and getting along with others on the crew.”

" In addition to the fascinating archaeology at Jost Van Dyke, the trip offers a cultural immersion in the Caribbean way of life.  From chatting with the ladies at Rhymer’s to listening to Foxy sing about our field school, the BVI trip was more than a dig, it was a cultural experience.  It’s a lot of work, but it’s the best vacation I’ve ever taken!”
