The Keith Muckelroy Memorial Award
In 2009 the NAS took over the administration of the Keith Muckelroy Memorial Award for published work on maritime archaeology which best reflects the pioneering ideas and scholarly aspirations of the late Keith Muckelroy from the Council for British Archaeology.
Nominations are now open for the 2011 Muckelroy Award
This award is for a work published after 1 January 2009 which, in the opinion of the judges, best reflects the interests, aspirations and high scholarly standards of Keith Muckelroy, a young maritime archaeologist who died in a diving accident in 1980.
There is no restriction on the nationality of the author, place of publication, or location of project, though the publication must be in English. Each nomination should be made by a proposer (not the author), and sent, with a copy of the work in digital or print format, to the NAS office. Nominations close on 30 April 2011. The winner will be anounced by the end of September 2011, and the trophy and Certificates of Merit will be presented at the NAS Conference in November 2011 at which the winner will be invited to speak.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my proposed work fit the criteria?
Answer - the criteria have been deliberately made broad, and if you think a work fits the definition set out in the first sentence of the call for nominations, then please go ahead with it.
Why is there an overlap between the periods of nomination?
Answer - simply to allow time for new publications to come to the attention of proposers. The period is two calendar years plus the first four months of the year in which nomination calls are made (usually every second year). Otherwise something published close to the close of nominations might not be noticed until it was too late.
Who are the judges for the Award?
Dr Colin Martin (University of St Andrews), Dr Paula Martin (Editor, IJNA), Dave Parham (University of Bournemouth), Dr Mark Redknap (National Museum of Wales), Dr Alison Sheridan (National Museums of Scotland) and Dr Lucy Blue (NAS)
What is the first prize?
Answer - a very heavy trophy. There is no money involved, just the publicity, and a certificate. |
