The Norwegian 'hiring' round normally starts around February and projects begin after Easter. Anyone can apply, but there is of course very high demand for a relatively limited number of jobs. Normally it would be expected that you possess a Masters and an undergraduate degree in archaeology (subject hopping isn't really the norm in Scandinavia) and of course experience. The hiring is regionally based and there is obviously a preference for applicants who live in the area of operation. There are a lot of non-Norwegian archaeologists working at the moment in Norway. Mainly Brits, Danes, Swedes but also a smattering of Poles, Germans, Canucks and Americans, a few Irish, a few Icelanders etc etc. Archaeology is everywhere, beer is expensive, spirits even more so, food can be exotic, but essentially is boring. Norwegians are friendly and there are enough very beautiful people (boys and girls) to keep the eye amused and the heart racing...

With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
