The student archaeological team "Argo" went to the Samara region for the work season to work as volunteers in the "Ancient World" archaeological park near the village of Kamenny Brod and to take part in the Middle Volga archaeological expedition in the village of Vlast Truda.
As a rule, archaeological teams are engaged in excavations, but in the "Ancient World" the Argonauts had other tasks: landscaping the territory, restoring the historical complex after a fire, making bricks, cutting down trees for sanitary purposes, building a Botai dwelling and providing various types of assistance to museum staff.
The second place of work – the Middle Volga AE – has already become a habit: here the guys, armed with shovels and scrapers, are engaged in the search for artifacts from the times of the Khazar Khaganate.
And in their free time, students participate in master classes on clay modeling, fabric stamping, fight with training swords, and interact with domestic animals. They also enrich their geographical horizons – they visited Samara and Novokuibyshevsk, visited local attractions and an aquatic center.
"This is my first year in the squad movement and my first archaeological season. I was very worried the whole time, and especially after receiving the tickets in my hands – I'm definitely going, this will definitely happen, and the main thing is not to chicken out," shared Polina Yashchenko, candidate of the SAO "Argo". – As it turned out, my worries were mostly in vain. I only forgot my headlamp, thanks to which I could admire the stars all night long. We went to Samara to first work in the "Ancient World" archaeological center, where we helped create Neolithic buildings and arrange the territory for visitors. Then we had excavations – I was terribly afraid that it would be difficult to work with a shovel if I was not used to it, but the squad helped me cope with this."
