Description
The Denise L. Gold Project Grants, administered by the American Society of Overseas Research (ASOR), provide targeted support to ASOR-affiliated archaeological projects in the greater Mediterranean region. Established in 2017, the grant is specifically aimed at facilitating the launch of new field projects, supporting smaller or emerging initiatives, or funding discrete components of larger projects that can be completed with modest resources. Funding may be used for essential equipment purchases, off-season research, or analytic work critical to project progress.
