The Achill Archaeological Field School, founded in 1991, is a Training School for national and international students of archaeology and anthropology.
The Achill Archaeological Field School offers high-quality courses in Irish archaeology ranging in length from six weeks to three days that combine both academic and practical fieldwork components.
Our 2-week, 4-week and 6-week modular courses qualify for 6, 9 and 12 ECTS or 3, 6 and 9 semester hours respectively, accredited by the National University of Ireland at Galway with whom the `school has formal linkage.
The courses are designed to provide a logical flow to the learning experience and are not dependant upon a specific entry level of knowledge of Irish Archaeology. The combination of lecture and practical skills tuition provides students with a body of knowledge in Professional Archaeological theory and practice.
The course structure currently employed allows for student group work on and off site, thereby facilitating small group instruction in a particular aspect of Field Skill training. This offers the opportunity to assess the level of understanding while providing the forum for detailed explanation and reinforcement of the learning to date.
Details of our 20th Anniversary celebrations and our 2011 Research Programme will be posted shortly.
