The Kent and Ward Fund was established as a result of two generous bequests from long-term members of the South African Archaeological Society. The first, in 1992, was from the late Dr Leslie Kent, a geologist in Johannesburg, and the second, in 2019, was from the late Valerie O’Hagan Ward who organised the Society’s branch in Pietermaritzburg for many years. The Society has invested the income and the interest is distributed from time to time at the discretion of the Council for contributing towards:

 

i ) financing of field work;

ii ) research projects;

iii)  analysis of archaeological material; and

iv ) publishing or supporting the publication of the results of research.

The Society invites applications in 2020 for awards in all categories
