Welcome to the CAMBUSTICA field school 2007

We are pleased to announce the next season of the 'Roman project' fieldwork.

The Expedition "Cambustica" research program began in 2001 with archaeological fieldwork that had as a goal to determine the character and importance of the Archar River valley situated in contemporary North-West Bulgaria. In the ancient times this region was a part of the Roman province Moesia Superior.

The project has concentrated on location end afterwards excavation of some of the most important Roman towns known from the written sources. During the last tree years it has been especially committed with investigation of locality "Aniste" where a roman villa rustica was discovered.

The "Cambustica" Field School was founded in 2006 as a Training School for students of archaeology, and is based in Northwest Bulgaria. In 2007 the practical courses will provide an ideal introduction to the world of archaeology. The project incorporates also daily laboratory work and several lectures focused on architecture, ceramic remains and artifact illustration. The project is suitable both for beginners and professional archaeologists wishing to develop their skills and knowledge.

In 2008 the field school takes between July 19 and August 30.
