Experiential Archaeology: Living the Past

          Participants will be housed in a small traditional village not far from the city of Odorheiu Secuiesc, in the heart of beautiful Transylvania. Voluteers will either be guests of Romanian families or will stay in a village house.

          Everyone will be housed in 2-4 occupancy rooms in the village houses. Toilet and bathrooms will be rural and traditional. You will have a chance to discover the true sense of old fashion Transylvanian hospitality. You will experience some of the nicest aspects of Eastern European country life, indulging in traditional meals and a variety of  home made traditional  beverages. The housing conditions are very safe. There are several fully equipped hospitals and stores near by.

          Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served during the work week. Breakfast and dinner will served in the village itself. We will have lunch at the workshop site. Romanian cuisinr is meat based and as a result we can't address any specific or particular dietary requirements.
