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.
