DEADLINE EXTENDED TO DECEMBER 15, 2017
The 17th Society for Historical Archaeology Student Paper Prize will be awarded at the 51st Conference on Historical and Underwater Archaeology, to be held January 3‒6, 2018, in New Orleans, Louisiana. 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 almost $1,500 worth of items in 2017) 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.
Criteria
(1) Entrants must be student members of the SHA prior to submission of papers and be registered for the 2018 annual meeting by November 1, 2017.
(2) The paper must be prepared according to current Historical Archaeology guidelines (see the SHA website for these details) and be submitted by November 1, December 15, 2017. Submissions must be made electronically (MS Word or PDF) to Carolyn White, chair of the Student Paper Prize Subcommittee at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. If entrants have a problem with an electronic submission, please contact Carolyn White at the email address above.
(3) The paper must be presented by one of the student authors at the annual meeting.
(4) There may be a maximum of three authors on the paper. All of the authors must be students and members of SHA at the time of submission. In the event of a winning co‐authored paper, the authors will split the available book prizes.
(5) Papers are to be limited to no more than 10 pages of double-spaced text using standard fonts and margins. The intent is that the length of the paper submitted must be in line with what can reasonably be presented in 15 minutes. Papers that are deemed by the committee to be impossible to deliver in a standard 15-minute format will be eliminated from the competition. Poster submissions are not eligible.
