A small grants program for humanistic archaeological research and writing that supports survey, excavation, and publication.

The Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) is requesting a grant of $500,000 (plus administrative costs) for two years to establish a program that provides small grants to individuals conducting archaeological research around the world. The grants will focus on providing support for a larger number of fieldwork projects that might be thought of as “lean and mean” – i.e., not requiring vast funding outlays to return important results. Just as significantly, these grants will also support post-fieldwork research and publication efforts that are currently underfunded, yet critical to providing a more complete understanding of the communities being studied. The current lack of funding for post-fieldwork efforts often results in long gaps of time between the completion of the project and the dissemination of final reports and publications.

Abstract: Since its inception in 1988, the Belize Valley Archaeological Reconnaissance (BVAR) Project has had two major foci, that of cultural heritage management and archaeological research. While research has concentrated on excavation and survey, the heritage management focus of the project has included the preservation of ancient monuments, the integration of archaeology and tourism development, and cultural heritage education. In this paper, we provide a brief overview on the history of scientific investigations by the BVAR Project, highlighting the project’s dual heritage management and research goals. This background offers the basis in which to discuss the successes and challenges of the project’s efforts in cultural heritage management and public engagement, particularly in early conservation efforts, in its training and educational efforts, and its ongoing outreach activity. We emphasize the need to train Belizeans as professional archaeologists and conservators, to serve as the next generation of advocates for Belize’s heritage management. We offer some ideas on how research projects can make significant contributions to heritage education and preservation in the developing world.

Abstract: The Small Cycladic Islands Project is a diachronic archaeological survey of several small, currently uninhabited islands located in the Cyclades, Greece. In 2019 and 2020, surface investigations focused on the multi-method, comparative documentation of 21 islets surrounding Paros and Antiparos, revealing oscillating patterns of use and non-use from prehistory to the present.

Abstract: The Small Cycladic Islands Project (SCIP) is a diachronic archaeological survey of numerous small, uninhabited islands in the Cycladic archipelago. There is a rich history of archaeological survey and comparative island archaeology in the Aegean. SCIP narrows the size of an individual island survey, and at the same time expands the conceptual and comparative scope by surveying multiple islands with the same set of methods and in the context of the same project. All target islands are currently uninhabited, and many probably never sustained any habitation. We know from other cases, however, that such places were used for a variety of purposes in the past, including as goat islands, cemeteries, stopovers, and pirate hideaways. In its initial field season in 2019, SCIP carried out comprehensive surveys of 10 islets in the vicinity of Paros. This comparative program of research provides new insights concerning various types of human activities—habitation and non-habitation, diachronic and incidental—that took place in marginal island environments.

Social Engineering at the Company Home Hearth: Coal Company Use of Architecture to Control Domestic Spaces in the Pennsylvania Anthracite Region, 1866–1889 (Article)
Title: Social Engineering at the Company Home Hearth: Coal Company Use of Architecture to Control Domestic Spaces in the Pennsylvania Anthracite Region, 1866–1889
Author: V. Camille Westmont
Abstract: America’s Gilded Age industries were infamous for their labor abuses; however, new research indicates that companies also attempted to use the architectural layouts of workers’ houses to further manipulate workers and protect corporate interests. Drawing on existing architecture, oral histories, and proposed future floor plans, this article evaluates the potential motivations behind seemingly inconsequential changes between the houses built at Lattimer No. 2 and the proposed houses to be built at Lattimer No. 3 in northeastern Pennsylvania. Although the power structures inherent in company towns afforded the company control over every aspect of their workers’ lives, a review of architectural changes to workers’ houses over time reveals how the manipulation of physical space promoted community surveillance, increased formality, and decreased interaction with neighbors. While subtle, these types of modifications indicate a shift in the relationship between the company and its workers and can provide more insight into the experiences of workers in coal-company towns.

Title: Archaeology of the Ọ̀yọ́ Empire, 2017–2021
Curator: Akinwumi Ogundiran
Abstract: I curated a major photo exhibition on the project at the Old Oyo National Park headquarters in Nigeria in 2021. I developed the exhibition in collaboration with the officers and staff of the Nigerian National Park Service, who permitted us to work in Bara.
