Find a dig (with "g") offers layman and volunteers to participate in archaeological excavations. Passing by such sites around the Med as a tourist many times I have developed romantic notions of bending down with a toothbrush in century-old dust, roasting in the merciless Med sun and tons of sand between the teeth and in the ears. I can think of camaraderie between the team members in adverse circumstances, in the evening good old campfire romantic with somebody striking not a right tone on the guitar and infrequent supply trips to the next God-forsaken human dwelling feeling like city trips to London or Paris. Not to mention that short Khaki trousers can look good on many a woman.
In short, I am hopeless romantic about it and I want to know if you have made any such holidays as volunteer and what do professionals think of them and their contribution?
