Welcome! Today is the first day of this year’s excavation in Doliche. And not only the excavation is starting, but also this very shiny and new blog you are reading right now!

In the following six weeks we will show you our life and work during an excavation abroad and everything that comes along with it. Between insights in our living conditions here in Turkey, reports about our everyday life and descriptions of our working methods you will find plenty to learn about excavations and the people taking part in one!

Stay tuned for the next couple of days (or weeks?) to check out our work here in Doliche. If you want to be updated regularly, the option to subscribe to our updates is of course free!

So enjoy the content, and we hope you can learn a bit more about excavations and maybe be as excited about archaeology as we are 🙂
