LX Heritage is for students.

At LX Heritage, one of our most important mandates is education. We think that to properly achieve this goal, it is important not just to teach the “what” of history and archaeology, but to teach the “how”. For students, this means training young scholars in research methods, from fieldwork to labwork to public interpretation.

We have internship opportunities on a variety of projects for any interested student, high school and older. These opportunities present a range of options for training in industry-standard practices and can be tailored to the interests of each student.

Because we work with heritage from start to finish, we can offer students experience with every step of a heritage project, starting with project planning, and including fieldwork, laboratory research, and the creation of interpretive material. We also offer a combination of remote and in-person research opportunities. In addition to the hands-on professional experience, students will have the opportunity to develop their own research projects to pursue within the umbrella of larger ongoing LX Heritage projects.

Students who have interned with us in the past have received awards for their LX Heritage-based research projects, been accepted into archaeological graduate programs, and gotten jobs in the field of archaeology.

If you are a student, high school or above, we have opportunities for you.

“Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose. It is a seeking that he who wishes may know the cosmic secrets of the world and they that dwell therein.”

- Zora Neale Hurston
