SYNOPSIS
![](https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/eot2008/20090507234900im_/http://nsf.gov/images/bluefade.jpg)
The Archaeology Program provides support for anthropologically relevant archaeological research at both a "senior" and doctoral dissertation level. It also funds anthropologically significant archaeometric research. High risk exploratory research proposals are accepted for consideration and a description of these competitions is provided in the Archaeology Program Overview.
For more information about the Crosscutting Research and Training Opportunities, please visit the Cross-Directorate Activities webpage. Here, you will find a brief synopsis about each program, as well as links guiding you to the appropriate Program Solicitations.
Also, for more information on the Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grants please visit the Archaeology specific page.
