About this opportunity

The Pomerance Award for Scientific Contributions to Archaeology recognizes individuals or teams whose interdisciplinary scientific work with archaeologists merits recognition. The award is presented by the Archaeological Institute of America and honors outstanding contributions to archaeological science across any geographic region. Eligibility is not restricted to AIA members, and candidates may be sought internationally with no geographical limitations. The recipient may be a professional or amateur scientist, or a team. Previous winners of the Pomerance Award are ineligible, but persons who have received the Gold Medal of the AIA are not excluded from eligibility. Winners are celebrated at the AIA's Awards Ceremony in January.
