This award provides funds for a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site in Archaeology through Davidson College. The award provides the opportunity for ten students to join the Athienou Archaeological Project in Cyprus. Students will (1) receive instruction in survey and excavation techniques (e.g., remote sensing, computer-assisted mapping), record keeping and data management, and artifact analysis; (2) participate in seminars taught by experts on archaeological method and theory and the cultural history of Cyprus; (3) visit prehistoric and historic sites on Cyprus; (4) plan and complete an independent research project; and (5) live in Athienou and learn about life in modern Cyprus from the villagers. Three faculty and three graduate students will provide the primary instruction along with other project specialists. The students will master the methods of archaeological field research, including new high tech approaches to data collection and analysis, and gain a better understanding of archaeological theory during the eight week program. This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences.

该奖项为戴维森学院的考古学本科生研究体验网站提供资金。该奖项为10名学生提供了加入塞浦路斯Athienou考古项目的机会。学生将(1)接受调查和挖掘技术(如遥感、计算机辅助制图)、记录保存和数据管理以及文物分析方面的指导；(2)参加考古方法和理论以及塞浦路斯文化史专家讲授的研讨会；(3)参观塞浦路斯的史前和历史遗址；(4)规划和完成一个独立的研究项目；以及(5)生活在阿蒂埃努，从村民那里了解现代塞浦路斯的生活。三名教师和三名研究生将与其他项目专家一起提供主要指导。在为期八周的课程中，学生将掌握考古田野研究的方法，包括收集和分析数据的新高科技方法，并更好地了解考古理论。这一奖项有助于基金会通过积极的本科生研究经验，继续努力吸引有才华的学生进入科学职业生涯。
