The Dienje Kenyon Fellowship 

A fellowship in honor of the late Dienje M. E. Kenyon is offered through the Society for American Archaeology to support the research of women archaeologists in the early stages of their graduate training. The award, of $500, will be made to a student pursuing research in Zooarchaeology, which was Kenyon's specialty. To qualify for the award, applicants must be enrolled in a graduate degree program focusing on Archaeology with the intention of receiving either the M.A. or Ph.D. on a topic related to Zooarchaeology, and must be in the first two years of graduate studies. Applications are to consist of :  1.   a statement of proposed research related to Zooarchaeology, toward the conduct of which the award would be applied, of no more than 1500 words, including a brief statement indicating how the award would be spent in support of that research; 2.   a curriculum vitae; and 3.   two letters of support from individuals familiar with the applicant's work and research potential. One of these letters must be from the student's primary advisor, and must indicate the year in which the applicant began graduate studies. Strong preference will be given to students working with faculty members with zooarchaeological expertise.

Applications must be sent via email, as an attachment in Microsoft Word, are due no later than January 6, 2007, and are to be sent to : Dr. A. Burke, Anthropologie, Université de Montréal. Email : a.burke@umontreal.ca
