Join fellow archaeologists and archaeological sympathizers this Wednesday (September 18) from 5:00 to 7:00 at the Mellow Mushroom in downtown Charleston. No agenda, other than to enjoy each other’s company.
The Archaeological Institute of America offers a range of funding opportunities, including fellowships, publication grants, scholarships and travel grants—plus the Site Preservation grants and awards, and the new Cotsen Excavation Grants. Attached are flyers listing these, and further information can be found on the AIA’s website at http://www.archaeological.org/grants. We have a November 1st deadline coming up for several of the programs, and we would appreciate it if you could share this information with your colleagues and students.
If you have any questions about the AIA’s funding programs, please do not hesitate to contact me–and thank you for your help in getting the word out!
Best wishes,
Laurel
