ABOUT ASOR’S CAP COMMITTEE

ASOR’s Committee on Archaeological Research and Policy supports excavations and related research in the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean regions by encouraging high standards for excavations and fostering deliberate and ethical practices for research. Scholars and academic institutions may apply for ASOR affiliation of their projects through CAP. ASOR-affiliated archaeological projects all adhere to the principles set forth in the ASOR Policy on Professional Conduct and the CAP Standards and Policies. CAP currently manages ASOR’s Grants for Archaeological Projects. These are modest grants to worthy field projects, particularly to newer and smaller projects to help them get started, as well as other ASOR-affiliated projects to give support for research and analysis leading to the publication of materials. CAP’s Fellowship Committee also determines the recipients of ASOR’s Scholarships for Fieldwork Participation.
