From the Neolithic to the New Republic
Join an exciting new project in the Czech Republic that covers the origins of the Czech people, culture, and state from 4000 BC to the post-Soviet Block era. Students participate in on-going archaeological excavations at a 30 acre hill fort with Neolithic, Bronze Age, Celtic, Medieval, and Early Modern components. The site, Rmiz, is located in a beautiful timber reserve in the eastern Czech Republic (Moravia), just 3 hours east of Prague and a similar distance north of Vienna. Students also travel and explore the modern Czech world with its dynamic economic growth and westernization.
