Program Overview

Program Description:

Students participate in excavation of pre-Roman and Roman sites, lectures, museum work, and study tours on the Island of Menorca, off the eastern coast of Spain.

Boston University’s Summer Menorca Field School in Archaeology & Heritage Management will take place at the site of Torre d’en Galmès on the island of Menorca, Spain. The program will consist of a six-week excavation campaign combined with lectures, museum and laboratory work, and study tours of the island’s cultural and historical monuments. Students will excavate a structure built during the late Iron Age period, dating back to the third century BC, that was later reused during the Roman occupation of the island. The field school will focus on the use of domestic space from the late Iron Age through the Roman Period to Medieval times.
