We are delighted to announce that the ARF Field School is among five programs selected for funding in the Wenner-Gren Foundation's most recent round of Global Initiatives Grants.
The Wenner-Gren grant will support Inclusivity and Ethics in Archaeological Training: The ARF Field School. This program will pilot an 8-week commuter field school designed to make archaeology more accessible. It provides stipends for BIPOC students and boosts the inclusion of low- and middle-income students entering the career. At the same time, the training will promote community-engaged archaeology and more sustainable ethical stewardship practices by using low impact methods to inventory and analyze orphaned collections and their legacy sites.
