Funding is available per calendar year. There is no deadline for applications, but prospective applicants should aim at submitting their applications as early in the year as possible.
Successful applicants will be required to provide six-monthly progress reports and a final project report. On completion of the project, an article on the project must be supplied for publication in the SA Archaeological Society’s magazine, The Digging Stick.
