EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL SEAN W. DEVER MEMORIAL PRIZE 2019
CALL FOR PAPERS
The William F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem announces the 201 Sean W. Dever Memorial Prize call for papers. This prize provides $750 for the best published article or paper presented at a conference that treats a topic in the field of Syro-Palestinian or Biblical Archaeology.
Authors must be Ph.D. candidates in the semester in which the winner is announced (Spring 2019). They may be of any nationality but the article or paper must be in English. Co-written or co-presented pieces may be submitted if all the authors or presenters are doctoral candidates; the prize, if awarded, will be divided equally among authors or presenters.
The submission of conference papers must include images (if used in the presentation) in PDF format (either as a separate document or embedded within the text of the paper), and full citations and bibliographic references.
All submissions must be in PDF format only. All submissions must be received no later than December 31, 2018. The prize will be announced on Sean’s birthday, March 9, 2019.
