AUR students will soon be saying farewell to their Albanian hosts at the Butrint Field School. It has been fantastic archaeology, a great learning experience and enormous fun!! Our especial thanks go to our collaborators, the Albanian Heritage Foundation, the Albanian Institute of Archaeology and the Butrint National Park. A big thanks to all the staff of those organizations and also the people of Ksamil for their hospitality.

The 3 credit field program offered by AUR includes Archaeology Practicum, an introductory excavation course covering all the basic skills required to find, excavate and record archaeological remains, and Archaeological Conservation Practicum, an introduction to practical conservation techniques in the field.
Butrint is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in southern Albania where an Anglo-Albanian project has been working since 1994 to research the ancient city and develop the site as a tourist resource and training center.
