ASOR Platt Excavation Fellowships
Through a generous gift of the late Mrs. Katherine Barton Platt, fellowship funds have been designated to support the participation of ASOR members as volunteers or staff on excavation projects. During the summer of 2010, we anticipate awarding 7 or 8 fellowships of $1,000 each.
Application Deadline: February 10, 2010
Criteria:
Applicants
must be current members of ASOR or students enrolled at an Institutional Member
of ASOR. We encourage but do not require Platt Fellows to participate on ASOR
affiliated excavations. [See list of Institutional Members]
Preference
normally will be given to individuals that have not received support through the
Heritage Grant program or other funding sources. Additional preference normally
will also be given to applicants who would not usually receive funding (for air
fare, lodging or a stipend) from the excavation. Preference is also given to applicants who have not received ASOR funding for excavations in the past two years.
Applications from individuals must include the contact information (preferably email) for the Director of the excavation project. Complete the online application form by clicking here.
Upon completion of the field season a report of 250-350 words and an appropriate *photo (digital tiff, 300 dpi or higher) onsite must be submitted to the ASOR Office by September 1, 2010. Reports and photos should be sent via email to asor@bu.edu with "Platt report" in the subject heading.
Grant recipients will be required to sign a waiver indicating that ASOR is not
responsible for any injuries they might sustain during their time at the excavation
they choose to participate in. They will also be required to sign a release of
rights to ASOR for the inclusion of their report and photograph in one of ASOR's
publications.
