The Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology annual dissertation prize
The Council of the Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology offers an annual prize for the best dissertation submitted for an undergraduate and taught postgraduate diploma or degree concerned with the post-medieval archaeology of Britain, Europe, or their colonies, from 1500 to the present day. The aim of the prize is to encourage new research in the field of post-medieval archaeology in British and Irish universities. The prize is offered in memory of Leslie Matthews, one of the Society’s founder members.
The award is £250, free membership of the Society for one year, and a conference bursary for the year of the award. In addition, all nominated candidates receive free membership for one year, in recognition of their achievement in producing a high-quality dissertation in the field of post-medieval archaeology.
We invite submissions from UK and Irish University and College departments in September to nominate not more than one dissertation submitted in the previous academic year. Submissions from individual students are not accepted. For further information, please contact the prize co-ordinator:
