AIA-OC Now Accepting
2019 Educational Grant Applications
The
Archaeological Institute of America’s Orange County Society is offering
a $2,000 grant available to a Southern California graduate student in
the second quarter of 2019. Attached is a description of the grant
requirements and application.
Our intent is to fund activity that uniquely contributes to an on-going
project. That is, the project already is or is expected to be funded
for its intended scope.
The purpose of the grant is to provide funds for additional effort that
could be instrumental in extending the project in potentially important
ways. As examples the funds could be used for underwriting specialized
dating methods; they could provide access to unique research
collections for extended comparative analysis; they could allow
creating or using software, for example to show how complex adaptive
systems theory relate to the project.
This additional funding is intended to allow an outstanding archaeology
student to do possibly groundbreaking work that could advance his/her
career as well as the project.
The winner will receive $2,000 and membership in the AIA. He/she will
be asked to present the project results in a lecture before AIA-OC
Society members and write a synopsis for the Society Newsletter.
We are asking you to recommend a student you believe to be qualified
and capable of such an undertaking. Also we ask that you circulate this
to colleagues who themselves might have such students.
Thank you,
AIA-OC Grant Committee

AIA-OC Awards 2018 Educational Grants to Two
Southern California Graduate Students
The 2018 AIA OC Grant Award Winners are Matt Howland, UCSD and Alicia Gorman, UCSB.
Matt's project is a comprehensive study of archaeological ceramics
recovered from an Iron Age copper production site, Khirbat al-Jariya
(KAJ), in southern Jordan’s Faynan region. Alicia's research addresses
the entanglement of religion and social inequality at the site of Cerro
Tortolita, a ceremonial center with a sizable resident population
located in the upper Ica Valley on the south coast of Peru.
We are one of the AIA local societies
that
provide a vehicle for people interested in archaeology to meet one
another, to hear
from
scholars about their current research, to learn about recent
archaeological discoveries and to take trips together to nearby
archaeological sites and other archaeology-related events.

A few of our past activities are shown in the photos below. For descriptions and other photos of AIA-OC activities click on Archives. For information on joining the AIA-OC click on Membership.
