Organized by the SAS Student Ambassadors, the awards ceremony held on the 28th of January 2026 aimed to highlight and celebrate the achievements of researchers who have won SAS awards between the years 2022 and 2025.
The awards presented reflect the breadth, rigor, and innovation that define our field—from student research and early career achievement to outstanding published scholarship and interdisciplinary work that advances how we understand the past through scientific methods.
These honors represent more than individual accomplishments. They recognize curiosity, collaboration, and the dedication to scientific inquiry that strengthens archaeological research worldwide. We are especially proud to acknowledge the students and early career researchers whose work continues to shape the future of our discipline.
-Alana Pengilley, SAS Student Ambassador
