İş Tanımı
Participants of the archaeological camp, foreign volunteers and local volunteers, are engaged in auxiliary tasks of archaeological research such as removing soil from the excavation; cleaning the fortress ramparts of vegetation, moss and dirt; transporting materials to the place where they are processed; physical processing, i.e. washing the materials under the professional supervision and guidance of team members.
Konaklama ve Yemek
Volunteers would be accommodated either in the premises of the local community (in that case, bathing would be organized in the Elementary School building, which is 10 meters from the accommodation and has showers and a changing room next to the sports hall). Participants' meals are organized so that volunteers prepare breakfast themselves (the refrigerator is filled with groceries), while housewives from the village are engaged to prepare lunch and dinner. Food is purchased locally, from the producers themselves. Our goal is to spend the largest possible portion of the approved funds in the local area, i.e. to keep the money in the local community and thus demonstrate its potential and encourage the development of tourism. Restaurants located in Kupinovo also provide the opportunity to feed volunteers.
Konum ve Serbest Zaman
Archaeological camps are held in Kupinovo at the site of the medieval fortress Kupiniko, but also at locations where the material is processed: the courtyard of the Ethnohouse in Kupinovo, the premises of the Kupinovo Local Community, or others as needed.
