Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe

Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe (DISCO) is a transnational project, examining archaeological employment and barriers to transnational mobility within archaeology across European countries. DISCO brings together archaeologists who work together to make it easier for European archaeologists to work in countries other than their own.  

  • identify barriers to entry to the profession of archaeology and to transnational mobility
  • identify labour market information and trends, including training investment, recruitment and career progression difficulties
  • establish the number of archaeologists working in each state
  • identify training needs and skills shortages
  • provide archaeological employers with information to aid business planning and improve organisational performance
