Description
The Thomas H. Carpenter and Lynne C. Lancaster Traveling Fellowships are designed to support extended research travel for graduate students and recent PhDs in archaeology. Administered by the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA), these fellowships fund travel to sites, monuments, and museums within the geographical bounds of the Roman Empire, focusing on projects situated between 1000 BCE and 1000 CE. The goal is to enable in-depth research, particularly for dissertation advancement or publication preparation, at a time when other funding sources are declining.
