Field School

Since its inception in 1999 the Sangro Valley Project included a Field School and considered the training of both graduate and undergraduate students in the latest archeological and technological methodologies to be part of its essential mission. The four-week Field School enrolled up to twenty undergraduate students annually, the majority drawn from Oxford University, Oberlin College and Willamette University (with occasional undergraduate and graduate students from other US and UK as well as Italian universities). These students were mainly archaeology, anthropology, and classical language or history majors. Italian secondary school children from Tornareccio and Atessa also participated as volunteers on the excavation.

The Sangro Valley Project bases itself in Tornareccio, the town closest to its excavation sites. Through the kindness of the local government, the project has used the elementary school as its headquarters with its classrooms housing the laboratory and computer facilities, and outdoor areas for artifact processing. There were dormitory-style accommodations for students in Tornareccio's middle school's classrooms.

The project has now concluded its fieldwork, and has is now focused exclusively upon the publication of its work.
