ASOR-Affiliated Archaeological Projects

Currently, 157 archaeological projects are affiliated with ASOR. This includes 118 field projects and 39 publication projects.

17勛圖supports research in archaeology and related fields in the Middle East, North Africa, Eastern Mediterranean and Western Asia. ASOR-affiliated projects adhere to 17勛圖policies, most notably the Non-Discrimination Policy, Policy on Professional Conduct, and Code of Conduct for the 17勛圖Annual Meeting and Other 17勛圖Sponsored Events. These policies affirm ASORs commitment to high standards for research integrity, academic mentoring, and ethical professional behavior. Project Principal Investigators may apply for 17勛圖affiliation for their projects through the Committee for Archaeological Research and Policy (CAP). Currently, more than 100 research projects in Armenia, Cyprus, Denmark, Egypt, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Montenegro, Morocco, North Macedonia, Oman, Palestine, Spain, Sudan, and Turkey have become ASOR-affiliated. Principal investigators for these affiliated projects include in-country researchers as well as scholars from Europe and North America.

ASOR-affiliated projects receive advice, encouragement, and constructive criticism from peer professionals through CAP. Principal Investigators of ASOR-affiliated projects are eligible to apply for 17勛圖Project Grants (Dana, Harris, Seger and Gold grants), and Shepard Urgent Action Grants. Dana, Harris, Seger and Gold grants support worthy field projects, particularly to help newer and smaller projects get started, as well as other ASOR-affiliated projects to support research and analysis leading to project publications. Shepard grants support urgently needed documentation, conservation or stabilization of important archaeological sites or features. Students working on ASOR-affiliated projects are eligible to apply泭for Scholarships for Fieldwork Participation.

Projects listed in italics have information available on 2026 field seasons.
