Resumo: Our center work is research into the roman town of 'Colonia Ulpia Traiana' by excavation. The history is made visible, alive and comprehensible. The enormous town area is examined by an excavation team under the management of archaeologists. On the basis of the excavation results life size models will be built and original finds and foundations are shown in the ground.
The model should help the 700,000 vivitors who visit the APX annually imagine what the town was like.

For 22 years every summer the archaeological park has offered an international archaeological summer academy for archaeology students from europe and overseas. All members of staff have always valued in particular the personal exchange with young people of non-German origins. Working together we have discovered differences and could also find many things in common.We would like to expand this experience and would therefore be very happy to work again together with an EVS volunteer.

The experiences we made with the european volunteer has been very well so far. Living together with the german volunteers had many positive effects. They had a person for daily questions, somebody to cook with and spending together free time.

Perfil: - curiosity and enjoyment in cultural heritage
- willing to work outside as the excavations should involve a lot of outside work.

Tarefas: - Work in the individual areas is divided into three to six week blocks. The individual areas will partly be worked in several times. The EVS volunteer will work together with the German volunteer. The volunteers in the archaeological park will be instructed by archaeologists and a member of the museum's educational staff.

1) Participation on the existing excavation

In order to give an idea of an excavation I include a description of a normal day. A small group meets in the morning (approx 5 people) and goes to the excavation equipped with spades and small trowels. It is necessary to be very careful and judicious so as not to destroy any findings. Many fragments are found in the ground and the findings are kept in large boxes and taken to the archive. The boxes must be very carefully labelled.

2) Working with findings

The box with the findings is later brought to the washing station. The findings are cleaned and can then be dated and labelled.

3) work in the restauration work shop

Metal objects found during excavation must be carefully cleaned in the restauration workshop. The volunteer can learn the special process (Eisenentsalzung). Findings are also preserved, such as a Roman oven.

4) Public Relation (designing brochures) and museum

Materials for visitors to the archaeologic park are regulary put togehter. Specific topics are explained e.g. how the roman heating system worked or what significance the bathing houses had in Roman everyday life. Together with the german volunteer, the EVS volunteer should work on the design of the brochure.

5) Participation on the international archaeological summer academy

6) Participation in the seminars of the Jugendbauhütte (Youth Building Hut) seven weeks a year

7) The volunteer has also a right to 26 days holiday a year
