Archaeology and Archaeometry

The goal of the Archaeology Program is to fund research that furthers anthropologically relevant archaeological knowledge. The program supports various types of projects, including Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Awards, Senior Archaeological Research, Archaeometry Research Awards, and High Risk Research in Biological Anthropology and/or Archaeology. • The program provides funding for research that has the potential to provide fundamental scientific insight. • It supports projects judged to be significant from an anthropological perspective, without priorities based on time period, geographic region, or specific research topic. • The program also administers competitions for archaeometry research and high-risk, exploratory proposals. • All proposals must include a data management plan as a supplementary document.
