The Palaeoanthropology Field School at Makapansgat is designed to provide a holistic approach to palaeoanthropological fieldwork and research. Our programme has been running intermittently for almost 10 years, involving a variety of researchers, instructors, postgraduate teaching assistants, and participating students from North America, Europe, Asia and Africa. The field school enrols a maximum of 15 participants, and runs for 5 weeks during July and August each year, and includes classroom instruction, demonstrations of original hominid fossils, visits to South African fossil sites, and 4 weeks of training, fieldwork and educational activities in the Makapansgat Valley. Other trips during the programme will include local game parks, historic places, and areas of general interest.
