"I
learned that archaeology is very complex. It's not just digging, but it
also involves all sorts of analytical tools. All in all, to be an archaeologist
you have to be motivated, and if you are, it is the most enjoyable job in
the world. Going to the field everyday is physically demanding, and
you need to be ready for that. The more you enjoy doing what you do, the
more you will get out of the experience. The ArchaeoSpain staff were amazing,
incredibly well-learned in the field, and they had tons of great stories
and lessons to share. The Spanish archaeologists were incredible as
well: fun, patient, informative, and they really
helped
me learn what it would be like to be an archaeologist."

"I
learned a lot about archaeology during my trip. I learned how one classifies
artifacts; the difference between
pieces of pottery; and how one can tell, just from observation, what time
period it came from. I also learned how to excavate with tools,
and that even working in 98 degree temperatures
can be a lot of fun… I would definitely recommend the Pollentia program.
I really think that anyone with the slightest interest would appreciate
every aspect of this program. It was just amazing."
