The Abbey ramparts of Saint-Amand
Saint-Amand-de-Coly, FRANCIA
Attività principali
Volunteers will take part in introductory archaeological activities by contributing to the excavation and enhancement of the northern curtain wall of the monastic enclosure of Saint-Amand-de-Coly. Supervised by an archaeologist, they will discover the different stages of an archaeological operation.
Activities will include archaeological excavation, sediment sieving, and the washing and sorting of uncovered artifacts. Particular attention will be paid to precision, careful handling, and respect for the remains. Volunteers will also be introduced to archaeological methods and tools through dedicated educational sessions. Guided visits of the site and the archaeological operation will provide a deeper understanding of the monument’s history, as well as the challenges of research and heritage conservation. This workcamp therefore offers a comprehensive experience combining manual work, technical learning, historical discovery, and immersion in local life.

Organizzatore
In the heart of the Périgord Noir, in the exceptional setting of the fortified abbey of Saint-Amand-de-Coly, volunteers will be introduced to archaeological practices through a heritage enhancement workcamp focused on this medieval site. Dating back to the 12th–14th centuries, the site bears witness to the historical and religious importance of the abbey and its monastic enclosure in the organization of the territory during the Middle Ages. This workcamp is part of a process of knowledge transmission, heritage discovery, and awareness-raising about archaeological conservation. By following in the footsteps of archaeologists, participants will actively contribute to the understanding and enhancement of an emblematic monument, while discovering a region rich in history, landscapes, and local traditions. The summer will also be marked by cultural and festive events (night markets, village festivals), encouraging exchanges with the local population.
