Dorothy Cameron Prize
A generous bequest to CAR from the late Dorothy Cameron has allowed the establishment of a Dorothy Cameron Prize for the best publication of the year in archaeology by an ANU student. The annual prize will be $500 in future. Small grants will also be available from the Cameron Fund to help students get their work published from 2006.
Award Conditions:
The Dorothy Cameron Prize will be awarded each year to the student judged by a committee of the Centre for Archaeological Research (CAR), or its successors, to have published the most excellent academic paper or papers during the previous calendar year in the areas of archaeology and/or palaeoanthropology. Papers which only become available early in the succeeding year but which have a publication date of the previous year will also be considered, as long as they are submitted for consideration before the closing date of 30 April. Books, whether single or multiple authored will also be considered eligible, but edited volumes are not considered eligible (although any individual paper within in them would be eligible)
Eligible students are taken to refer to students who were full- or part-time undergraduate or graduate students of the University at the time of acceptance of their manuscript for publication, the manuscript being published in the year previous to the deliberations of the CAR committee. For graduate research students it is further required that acceptance of the manuscript has taken place prior to submission of their thesis for examination. Evidence of eligible status must be presented to the committee
For joint publications, a statement from the student outlining their particular contribution to the publication should be appended to the application
Applications by the due date of 30 April are encouraged from supervisors of the students, with the student's permission, or may be submitted by the student directly to the committee. Applications should include two copies of the paper or papers to be considered, full publication details, evidence of eligibility of the student, and, in the case of joint publications, the student's statement on their particular contribution to the paper
Where more than one paper is submitted for consideration by a student in any particular year, the cumulative significance and excellence of the publications will be considered
Publications must be clearly within the fields of archaeology and/or palaeoanthropology as judged by the committee. Papers in fields such as primatology and sociocultural anthropology will not be considered eligible unless the paper clearly links their findings to archaeological and/or palaeoanthropological concerns
The committee will convene during the month of May to consider applications for the Prize and will publicly announce the successful applicant by the end of May
A condition of submission of papers is that the decision of the committee is final and no further correspondence will be entered into after the announcement of the award
The prize award will be 500 Australian dollars. Where two students are adjudged to be joint winners of the prize, both will receive 250 dollars each. It is expected that this will be an exceptional situation and that the committee will normally be expected to make only a single award
If, in any year, no publication is judged by the committee to be worthy of the award of the prize, the prize will not be awarded in that year
The committee will be constituted each year by the Director of CAR, or if that Centre is no longer in existence, jointly by the heads of the School of Archaeology and Anthropology in the Faculty of Arts and the Department of Archaeology and Natural History in the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, or their successor academic units
It is expected that at least two Dorothy Cameron Awards of up to 250 dollars will be made each year to assist students in the publication of academic papers in archaeology and palaeoanthropology as adjudged by the committee of the Centre for Archaeological Research (CAR), or its successors. These awards will be for assistance with publication subsidies (where required by a publisher), for preparation of illustrative materials, and other tasks directly involved in preparing manuscripts for publication
Eligible students are taken to refer to students who are full- or part-time undergraduate or graduate students of the University
Students must apply directly to the committee via CAR giving details of the proposed publication and evidence of the costs to be incurred (up to 250 dollars). There will be two round per year of applications, to be submitted by 30 April and by 30 September each year
The committee will consider applications at their May Cameron Prize meeting and at a second meeting for this purpose only in October. The committee will take into account the financial situation of the Dorothy Cameron Fund in any one year and may decide not to make any award if the financial situation is not favourable. If the financial situation is favourable at least one award would normally be made in each of the two rounds. Successful applicants will be notified before the end of May and before the end of October respectively
A condition of submission of applications for an award is that the decision of the committee is final and no further correspondence will be entered into after the announcement of the award

CAR welcomes Visiting Fellows and PhD students
The ANU is proud of its standard of research and the people it attracts to work, study and visit here. In Archaeology, we are particularly lucky to have a number of Visiting Fellows in residence who bring with them their reputations and expertise and generously share their time and knowledge with our staff and students. We also have a number of short-term visitors and guest lecturers who also come to collaborate and keep the various archaeological debates lively on campus.
Additionally, the University structure encourages a wide spectrum of interdisciplinary research and supervision e.g. through cognate Research Centres and Departments of Linguistics, Anthropology, Human Geography, the John Curtin Medical School, and Earth Sciences, both in the Faculties and Research Schools
