Dear Zooarchers... on behalf of the Kenyon Fellowship Committee, I would like to thank everyone who has supported this award in the past by encouraging student applications. The committee is now trying to raise funds to enable us to increase the amount of the award and I hope you will consider participating (see below).
Sincerely,
Prof. Ariane Burke
The Dienje M. E. Kenyon Fellowship
A fellowship in honor of the late Dienje M. E. Kenyon was established in 1999 by her family, friends and colleagues. Dienje was a bright and energetic young woman just beginning a promising career in zooarchaeology and starting a family when she succumbed to cancer. Her last wish was to establish a fund in order to encourage women in the early stages of their graduate training to consider a career in zooarchaeology. Awards of USD 500 are made annually to an eligible candidate with no restriction as to nationality or place of study.
The Kenyon fellowship committee is currently seeking additional funds to help increase the amount of the award. We therefore invite members of the archaeological community, and especially members of the zooarchaeological community, to contribute to the Dientje Kenyon Fellowship by sending their contributions to:
Executive Director,
Society for American Archeology
900 2nd St. NE #12
Washington, DC 20002-3560
Acknowledgements with receipts will be provided by the Society.
