The Near Eastern Archaeology Foundation allows people who would have little or no contact with this examination of the past, other than through the written word, to achieve not only first hand experience of excavation and study, but also to further the careers and the research of the graduate students who are so often their teachers and friends.
We also aim to make Near Eastern archaeology more accessible to the general public. During the year, the Foundation offers several lectures on Near Eastern, Cypriot and Egyptian archaeology to its members as well as collaborating with the Centre for Continuing Education to give more detailed lecture courses.
The following annual grants are made available by the Foundation.
