The 11th Society for Historical Archaeology Student Paper Prize will be
awarded at the 45th Conference on Historical and Underwater Archaeology, to
be held in Baltimore, Maryland on January 4‐8, 2012. The prize will be
awarded to a student, or students, whose written version of a conference
paper is judged superior in the areas of originality, research merit,
clarity of presentation, professionalism, and of potential relevance to a
considerable segment of the archaeological community. One prize will be
awarded: The winning author(s) will receive a book prize consisting of
titles donated by the many presses and organizations exhibiting in the SHA
Conference Book Room (totaling over $1,140 worth of items in 2011) and a
letter of recognition from the SHA President. The winning author (s) will be
encouraged to submit his or her paper to be reviewed for possible
publication in Historical Archaeology. The results of the competition will
be communicated to the entrants prior to the meeting and the winner will be
announced at the annual business meeting.
