Archaeological Research Funding

The Council for British Archaeology scheme offers grants of up to ?750 to encourage independent and voluntary effort in original archaeological research. Groups, societies and individuals working in a voluntary capacity or promoting voluntary involvement are 'challenged' to put forward proposals for projects which will either: say something new about the history of local surroundings, and so inform their future care and appreciation; or contribute to archaeological innovation (i.e. new or under-studied aspects of the historic environment, or new methods, techniques and approaches); or help non-government bodies to establish long-term resources or facilities to enable others to carry out their own original research.The funding will not cover university coursework.
