Description
The Prehistoric Society administers this annual award through the generosity of the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre (SUERC). It provides up to three radiocarbon dates relevant to research in any field of prehistory. The support is specifically for radiocarbon dating rather than a general grant for other research costs, with applications considered alongside the Society’s other grant applications.
The award is open to Society members whose projects meet its funding restrictions. Applicants must explain the relevance of each requested date, including the sample’s stratigraphical integrity and its relationship to the event being dated. Selection is competitive and based on merit, with the Society’s Grants Committee assessing applications.
