It runs from 9 July to 22 July, as we welcome up to 8 volunteers from around the world. So far, we have volunteers signed up from Germany, Taiwan, Italy, Mexico, Hungary, and The Netherlands. VFP partners with local volunteer organizations in each country, to make it easier to apply for and obtain a visa. You can email them at vfp@vfp.org to ask about partner organizations in your country. A list can also be found on their website at vfp.org.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYod6bCEIOEULQTkDWpO4jdPND7_U_zmD1YzUNnp4Mlq7ATVEnlEQGmWoAFPDruHnvGneT6rR97EBBmeNHr_gTTBWObEZie1VMzrH8IF0qLT-5ZNJ12S02gbrabEB1n7ZHYl5R3SNHNY5NIcdCFW4F70ky8NJKR2jwaFOKYKq78UTL6EFomG5MyYcSBA/s4128/20190721_164616.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3096" data-original-width="4128" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYod6bCEIOEULQTkDWpO4jdPND7_U_zmD1YzUNnp4Mlq7ATVEnlEQGmWoAFPDruHnvGneT6rR97EBBmeNHr_gTTBWObEZie1VMzrH8IF0qLT-5ZNJ12S02gbrabEB1n7ZHYl5R3SNHNY5NIcdCFW4F70ky8NJKR2jwaFOKYKq78UTL6EFomG5MyYcSBA/w640-h480/20190721_164616.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">2019 VFP volunteers with a few other volunteers at Letchworth State Park.</span></p>Steven Paul Howardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11269784566159430583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4262554558913285485.post-82757342561916827122023-03-07T19:26:00.000-05:002023-03-07T19:26:02.379-05:00Field Season 2023: Getting a bit back to normal<p> Our field season this summer will be a bit more like the pre-pandemic AVP, and we will be running from July 5 until July 31.

Stay tuned for more information on scheduling coming up soon! Come and volunteer with us this summer, or just visit a while.

Walk-on volunteering is welcome, though be sure to bring plenty to drink and a bag lunch if you plan to stay the full day. We generally dig from about 9:30 until about 4:00.

<div class="MsoNormal">
It is with great disappointment that I must relay the news
that the 2020 Summer Field Season of the Allegheny Valley Project has been
canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As
a non-profit community archaeology program, the Allegheny Valley Project brings
people together for research and education in a hands-on environment. Our archaeology
volunteers work in close quarters from the excavation units and screening
stations in the field to the processing stations in the lab.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately, this makes it difficult to
practice social distancing, a necessary policy as the pandemic persists. While
many of our volunteers are local to the New York and Pennsylvania area, we have
a large contingent of volunteers that travel from other parts of the US, and
our International Program with Volunteers for Peace brings participants from
across the globe. In addition, our volunteers are of all ages and abilities,
and many of our volunteers are in particularly vulnerable populations. We
considered a scaled back season held later in the summer, but the Allegheny
Valley Project would not be the same experience without the full contingent and
range of volunteers that form our community. We will resume our field
excavations in the summer of 2021. In the meantime, we hope that all of our
volunteers across the globe have a safe and cheerful rest of 2020. I will miss
you all this summer, but look forward to seeing you in 2021!<o:p></o:p></div>

Come on down and see us at the Canticle Farm Market building on Old State Road in Allegany, NY. We'll likely be out back. Way out back.<br />

We opened up previously excavated units to examine our identified features. We also welcomed our International cohort, who immediately began to find amazing artifacts. A few of our local friends have popped by, and we'd like to see more of you. We'll be at the site Thursday and Friday, though on Friday we'll close a bit early to attend the Pow Wow. We'll be back Monday the 22nd and excavate through the week.<br />

This season, our international Volunteers for Peace program will run from July 13 to July 27, as we welcome up to 8 volunteers from around the world. VFP partners with local volunteer organizations in each country, to make it easier to apply for and obtain a visa. You can email them at vfp@vfp.org to ask about partner organizations in your country. A list can also be found on their website at<br />
www.vfp.org.

This year the AVP welcomes up to 8 international volunteers
through Volunteers for Peace, a non-profit volunteer placement group. VFP
volunteers must pay their travel expenses to and from Allegany, NY, but while
here, food and lodging are covered by volunteer contributions. This year our VFP volunteers will be here for two weeks (07 July to 21 July). VFP
partners with local volunteer organizations in each country, to make it easier
to apply and obtain a visa. You can email them at vfp@vfp.org to ask about
partner organizations in your country. For more information, you can visit
www.vfp.org. The AVP project code is VFP-STV05-18, found <a href="https://frontend.workcamp-plato.org/searchresult.352.aspx?startDate=&endDate=&countries=USA&gender=&age=&types=ARCH&projects=&plus=false&code=&platoorgid=207d2ef4-4494-4e23-bc95-deb07d11af67">here</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>

Time has passed by so fast, and we have discovered many new things about the site. So much, that we have decided to extend the excavations at Canticle Farm for one more year. This was necessitated by the discovery of a new zone of activity that may represent a different time level within the Ancestral Ohiyoh Haudenosaunee time frame.<br />
