If you are a university graduate student (Master's or Ph.D. level in any state or country) and your thesis or dissertation research concerns an Oregon, Idaho, Washington, or northern Nevada archaeological project, you are eligible for our annual laboratory research grant. This grant is good for up to $1000 worth of obsidian characterization and/or hydration studies carried out at the lab (computed at our present price rate). Laboratory analytical services include the trace element characterization, source identification, and hydration analysis of obsidian artifacts and XRF analysis of geologic source material. The grantee gets to decide how to mix or match the different types of analytical work. Should more than one applicant be selected, the lab grant will be awarded for each successful applicant at a percentage to be determined by Northwest Research Obsidian Studies Laboratory. The 2011 grant deadline application is May 31, 2011. To apply, all you have to do is to send the lab a brief proposal concerning your obsidian-related research. The proposal should run no longer than about two pages - if we have questions, we'll ask. Here's what we need to know in your application:
That's it! You can submit your application by mailing it to us at the lab or by sending it as an e-mail attachment (WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat .PDF, or straight text formats are all accepted) file. We will review all applications and will announce the big winner(s) on this web page by June 15, 2011. Here's what we would like from the grant recipient:
Good luck!
