Working Group Early Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology, Tübingen University
Find incredible things… maybe
Support us in Tübingen with sorting archaeological excavation material
Excavations in Tübingen have yielded unique, world-class finds – it is not uncommon for these objects not to have come to light during excavation, but only during subsequent sorting work. But even apart from the swan bone flute, Venus or lion man, cleaning and sorting work on sifted material provides the basis for new insights into life, climate and environment.
As prerequisites you bring patience and interest in archaeology. Training will take place on site.
