2018 COMMITTEE ON ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH AND POLICY (CAP)
The Committee on Archaeological Research and Policy takes responsibility for designating archaeological fieldwork projects and archaeological publication projects as “CAP-affiliated,” thereby indicating that these projects have agreed to conform to the ASOR Policy on Professional Conduct and the Statement of General Standards for Projects Affiliated with ASOR. CAP-affiliated projects are eligible to apply for ASOR grants that support excavation projects (Harris Grants; Joe D. Seger Excavation Grants). Some ASOR fellowships that support students’ participation in archaeological fieldwork are also available only for work at CAP-affiliated excavations. The committee is also responsible for discussing and debating matters of archaeological research and policy, especially with the goal of developing guidelines and resources for ASOR members and others regarding the highest scholarly and ethical standards for archaeological fieldwork and publications. In addition, through a subcommittee, it awards ASOR excavation grants and student fieldwork fellowships, unless otherwise specified in donor agreements.
