I have always wanted to do this. Last summer I even did some research on volunteering, but never followed up on it.
But I'm a bit curious. I looked at an Italian dig at random and noticed the cost:
Evidently this only covers room and board, meals, and a few extras like "seminars / drawing workshop." The company administering this one in particular is a limited liability company, not a non-profit. Is this a money-making venture? There isn't anything wrong with that, if the real academic work isn't impeded, but I would want to know where, exactly, my money is going.
