The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) offers this fellowship for short-term, focused research at its Malcolm H. Wiener Laboratory for Archaeological Science. Projects must address substantive problems concerning the ancient Greek world or adjacent areas through interdisciplinary methods in the archaeological sciences. The fellowship welcomes graduate researchers, relevant degree holders, and independent scholars.
The laboratory is especially well-equipped for research in human skeletal biology, archaeobiological remains—including faunal and botanical material—environmental studies, and ancient materials. It also supports geoarchaeology, particularly investigations of human–landscape interactions and site formation processes. Fellows are encouraged to contribute to the School’s Athens-based academic community through seminars, colloquia, workshops, participation in School field trips, or a combination of these activities.
