I also have an anti-spam plugin that works wonders, but sometimes sneaky spammers make it through, so the link moderating is my last line of defense.

Thank you for the fabulous link to AIA’s fieldwork opportunities. I knew there was stuff out there, but I didn’t realize there was such a smorgasbord of options all over the world.

I think the Deadwood summer camp is a great way to introduce kids to the field without being intimidating (or possibly illegal ).

But seriously people, dig directors are often looking for free slave labor… I mean, volunteers, who actually PAY THEM to do do the heavy lifting. Sometimes the costs are astronomical, but other digs are pretty darn cheap. FYI, “field schools” will be more expensive than other digs, but you’ll learn a lot more than just how to move dirt.
