Excavate in Spain: 2022 Archaeological Summer Programs


Do you want to excavate in Spain with professional archaeologists? Do you want to live the adventure of History in an Iron Age city? Pintia Archaelogical Site is your chance for this summer! From ArchaeoPintia, this year we offer only one course: XXXIX International Theoretical and Hands-On Archaeological Course (from July 11 to July 31).

Students will excavate an urban habitat of more than two thousand years and will be able to extract and study objects belonging to the pre-Roman culture of the Vaccean people. Pintia was one of the most important cities of the Vaccean, Celtic people that inhabited the central zone of the Iberian peninsula during the Iron Age. During the last thirty years, the University of Valladolid has worked to bring to light the remains of the city, its wall and its necropolis, as well as its artisan neighborhood, with the largest kiln in Europe. In the latter over three hundred tombs have been excavated and thousands of ceramics, weapons and several treasures have been discovered and studied.

Next summer we will excavate an area of the city during July and August. Students will learn various techniques of Archaeology, from field work directly at the site to description, treatment and photographing of the uncovered pieces.

In addition, in the various workshops and seminars students will learn the techniques used in the production and decoration of ceramics, as well as everything related to their treatment in the laboratory.

At Federico Wattenberg Center for Vaccean Studies, we can assure you that there will also be moments for fun, leisure and culture. In this sense, we have prepared several cultural trips so that you can visit and get to know some of the wonderful Spanish cities; where you can discover fabulous medieval surroundings with monasteries, churches, castles... Pintia Archaelogical Site is one of the largest archaeological projects in Spain, given the size of the site and the years dedicated to its excavation and study. Your collaboration is very necessary in order to maintain, year after year, the public awareness of the Vaccean culture and findings.

See you this summer in Pintia!
