Deadline: Dec 01, 2020

Graduate Student Paper Award 

Nomination Process

Graduate students are the future of our profession and contribute substantially to the success of the Archaeological Institute of America’s Annual Meeting by delivering papers based on original research. Through its Graduate Student Paper Award, the Archaeological Institute of America recognizes this contribution and encourages outstanding research by students.

Eligibility and General Information

Eligible students are predoctoral students in any discipline related to archaeology who have had a paper accepted by the Program for the Annual Meeting Committee for presentation at the 2021 Annual Meeting of the AIA and who have checked the box labeled “Graduate student paper award” on the Open Session Submission Form that reads, “I am a graduate student and sole author of this paper and wish to be considered for the Graduate Student Paper Award.” If you are presenting as part of a session, you need to remind your session chair to check this box for you when they submit all of the session materials. Only graduate students who have a paper accepted by the Program for the Annual Meeting Committee and have checked the box on the Submission Form will be eligible for the award. Accepted papers should then be submitted by email and in their entirety to the Graduate Student Paper Award Committee for award consideration. All submissions are by self-nomination and remain anonymous throughout the award selection process. The full written paper along with images must be received by December 1, 2020. In substance and form, the paper that is delivered should be the same as that submitted.

The written paper and its oral and visual presentation will be judged for (1) originality, (2) concision and (3) delivery. Assessment of the presentation will not be affected either by the technological format of presentation or by circumstances beyond the presenter’s control, but rather it will be judged by the organization and rhetorical delivery. The selection committee consists of faculty and scholars who are members of the AIA.

Co-authored papers: We encourage collaborative work between students and will consider co-authored papers when all contributors hold student status. We are not able to accept papers with a senior scholar as co-author (anyone holding a Ph.D. at the time of submission) since the committee cannot determine the amount of input from the student author(s).

The award will include a certificate of achievement and a prize consisting of books from multiple presses that exhibit at the Annual Meeting. The winner will also receive complimentary meeting registration, two tickets to the Opening Night Reception, and two nights stay at the meeting hotel to attend the following year’s Annual Meeting, where they will be recognized at the Awards Ceremony.

Submission Requirements

  • Submissions must be in 12 pt Times New Roman, double spaced, with 1″ margins
  • Presenter names should NOT appear on any submitted materials
  • Allotted presentation time should be included in the document immediately under the paper title
  • Paper length should be appropriate for the time slot allowed (ca. 2 minutes per page is a good rule of thumb). Any paper that exceeds the appropriate length will not be considered.
  • Accompanying images must be submitted separately from the paper
  • Co-authored papers are only accepted when all contributors hold student status
