This grant, offered by the Archaeology Program, is for supporting anthropologically relevant archaeological research. The core purpose is to significantly increase understanding of past human behaviors and contribute meaningfully to the broader field of anthropological knowledge. Applicants are responsible for convincingly explaining why their proposed research focus is significant and holds the potential for substantial anthropological contributions, ensuring its value within an anthropological context. The program fosters innovative research by deliberately setting no specific priorities concerning geographic region, time period, theoretical orientation, or particular research questions. While the program encourages a wide array of research, proposals typically seek funds for conducting essential field research or for the comprehensive analysis of archaeological materials through diverse methodological approaches.

| Description: | The Archaeology Program supports anthropologically relevant archaeological research to increase understanding of past behaviors. This means that the value of the proposed research can be justified within an anthropological context. It is the responsibility of the investigator to explain convincingly why the focus of their research is significant and has the potential to contribute to anthropological knowledge. The program sets no priorities by either geographic region or time period. It also has no priorities in regard to theoretical orientation or question. While the program, in order to encourage innovative research, neither limits nor defines specific categories of research, most proposals either request funds for field research or the analysis of archaeological material through multiple approaches. |
