THE JOHN EVANS DISSERTATION PRIZE John Evans (1941-2005) was an inspirational environmental archaeologist, responsible for advancing the discipline and fostering many of today's top researchers in the field. His many books continue to make a contribution to practical and theoretical aspects of environmental archaeology. To honour the memory of John and his achievements within environmental archaeology, the AEA is announcing its annual dissertation competition. Prizes of £75 will be awarded to the best undergraduate and Masters dissertation, which may be on any aspect of environmental archaeology worldwide. Abstracts from the winning dissertations will be published in the AEA newsletter (this is a condition of entry that all entrants will be agreeing to on submission of the dissertation). The John Evans Dissertation Prize winners will also be encouraged to submit an abridged version of their dissertation for publication in the Association's journal, Environmental Archaeology, subject to the usual review process. We invite each Department of Archaeology (or other relevant department) to submit the dissertation of their best candidate by 31st July 2012. Submissions from individual students are not accepted. We are sorry, but we are only able to accept dissertations written in English. All submitted dissertations will be read by two AEA committee members, with a short list of four being read by a third member of the committee. The result will be announced at the AEA meeting in Reading, November 2012. Bound copies or pdf versions should be sent to Dr Zoe Hazell, who should also be contacted for further information: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> English Heritage, Fort Cumberland Fort Cumberland Road Eastney Portsmouth PO4 9LD This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of English Heritage unless specifically stated.
