Kiernan Experimental Archaeology Award
Applications are now open for the 2025 Kiernan Experimental Archaeology Award!
EXARC is dedicated to promoting the professional development and academic acceptance of experimental archaeology as a scientific research method. To that end, we have created an international network of over 400 members, enabling collaboration and access to materials, resources, and tools from around the world.
One of these resources is the Kiernan Experimental Archaeology Award, sponsored by EXARC member John Kiernan. We understand that sometimes, although you may have a great idea for an experimental archaeology research project, you don’t have the financial capabilities to carry it out. The Kiernan Experimental Archaeology Award offers micro-grants of €500 to up to two experimental archaeology projects per year.
Projects are welcomed from any country and any applicant, but the projects should meet the eligibility guidelines outlined below.
- The theme of your project must be focused on experimental archaeology.
- You will state in all publications and presentations that this project is supported by EXARC.
- You are an EXARC member or will join EXARC as a member when you accept the Award.
- Recipients will write at least one blog post for publication on the EXARC website.
- Recipients will write an article for the EXARC Journal (designated as the “reporting phase” below).
