Channel: Recording Archaeology
Date: 2016-04-11

This paper will examine the broad range of sources that have funded PhDs in UK Archaeology and how they have changed over the years. From traditional sources, such as Research Councils, to new methods, like Crowdfunding, this paper will investigate the political implications of these different sources. More importantly, it uses data stretching back decades to show the changing funders and political nature of Archaeology. It will illustrate how PhD funding has shaped the profession in the past and might continue to do so in the future.
