Summary: ASOR Excavation Fellowships support students and young archaeologists in gaining hands-on archaeological field experience that informs their scholarship, teaching, and careers.
Description
The American Society of Overseas Research (ASOR) supports participation in archaeological excavations through its Excavation Fellowships. The fellowships help students and young archaeologists enter the field and work directly with the material remains of ancient cultures. Recipient experiences include excavation work in the Middle East and Cyprus, including continued participation in projects in Jordan.
Former fellows describe developing practical excavation skills, working alongside experts, engaging with local people, and exploring cultural change across different periods. Their accounts connect field experience with later work in research, teaching, excavation supervision, and research administration. The fellowships sit within ASOR’s broader mission to encourage research into the history and cultures of the Near East and wider Mediterranean world.
