The Blackfriary Archaeology Field School is hosting a summer session partnered with the Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) in Trim, Ireland. They are offering two course in summer 2024 (BAFS Summer courses). They are:

• A four-week course which combines an introductory course with a 2-week advanced course, running from May 7 – 31 and from June 4 – 28.
• A five-week course, from July 2 to August 2, has a significant bioarchaeology component taught by Dr. Rachel Scott of DePaul University, Chicago.

Both courses give training in excavation and post-excavation methods. The four- and five-week courses are fully accredited through DkIT. Six semester credits (12.5 ECT credits) are offered for the four-week course and 7 -8 (15 ECTs credits) for the five-week course. The May option may be of interest to students whose courses are finished by late April/early May. There is also an unaccredited two-week course which runs throughout the summer.

For students with previous field and/or lab experience, the field school offers internships for a minimum of six weeks in the areas of excavation, post-excavation, and community outreach.
