Description
The Society for Archaeological Sciences (SAS) offers this award to support research activities and dissemination by graduate student and early career members. It funds practical costs of laboratory work, fieldwork, and presentations at conferences, symposia, and workshops, helping researchers both carry out archaeological science projects and share their findings.
The program considers the scientific merit of proposed work and its potential career impact, alongside the applicant’s record and supervisor’s recommendation. Supported projects have included digital documentation of Palaeolithic artefacts, analysis of ancient metals and ceramics, biomolecular studies of food residues, and development of archaeological analytical techniques. Recipients share results through the Society’s news page, and resulting publications may be promoted through its website, social media, and member communications.
