Program title

Discovering and Preserving Mongolian Cultural Heritage: A Multi-disciplinary Field School Opportunity in Northern Mongolia

Program location

Soyo Bag (district), Ulaan Uul Soum (county), Huvsgul Province, Mongolia

Program overview

Participants of this program will get a unique opportunity to learn both traditional and cutting edge archaeological methods in a beautiful, mountainous and remote region of northern Mongolia. Adventurers up to the challenge will be immersed in the local nomadic culture, uncover evidence of Mongolia’s ancient past, and will come away with the skills necessary to jumpstart a career in archaeology.

Students from disciplines other than archaeology may be able to participate in, and will learn the basics of archaeological excavation techniques, while completing assessment activities specific to their discipline.

Program dates

6 July – 24 July 2020

Places available

15 places funded by the New Colombo Plan Mobility Grant to eligible Flinders students and students from consortium member universities (JCU, Wollongong, Southern Cross University and Macquarie University. A limited number of self-funded places may be considered case by case.
