With apologies for cross-postings:

The Archaeological Institute of America’s Best Practices in Site Preservation Awards are presented to groups or projects recognized by their peers for doing exemplary work in the field of site preservation and conservation. A $5000 grant will be awarded to the winners to further their best practices in site preservation. Winners will also benefit from publicity for their projects through the AIA. Award winners will be selected by a committee of professional archaeologists, conservators, and heritage specialists prior to the AIA’s Annual Meeting in January 2013.  

Please nominate deserving projects through the nomination form on the AIA’s website at http://www.archaeological.org/sitepreservation/award. While electronic submission is preferred, you can also submit nominations (through snail mail or email) to the AIA's Site Preservation Program Administrator, Kelly Lindberg, at [log in to unmask] or by mail to:
