The Archaeology Volunteer Lab

Join us for volunteer labwork on friday afternoons in 954 Schermerhorn Extension. We have a number of ongoing projects with volunteer opportunities. Drop in to help with research being undertaken by Columbia faculty and graduate students. Join the undergraduate archaeology listserv or the graduate student listserv for more information. All are welcome!

Unfortunately due to campus access restrictions the volunteer lab is only open to Columbia/Barnard students at this time. For other archaeology opportunities please check out the Archaeological Institute of America website or sign up at the bottom of this page to hear about Center for Archaeology events.
