SGS Beta-SAS Radiocarbon Dating Award 2026 - Applications Open

The Society for Archaeological Sciences (SAS) in collaboration with SGS Beta invites applications for the SGS Beta-SAS Radiocarbon Dating Award. This is an annual competition to award one free AMS radiocarbon date analyzed at SGS Beta. The award is designed to promote the creative use of radiocarbon dating in archaeology and related disciplines, and to propagate such applications into geographic and thematic research areas underrepresented in existing radiocarbon dating work.

The deadline for applications is March 6, 2026. Find out more about eligibility and the application procedure here.

In advance of the application deadline, Dr. Maren Pauly of SGS Beta and the Society for Archaeological Science Student Ambassador team will host an informational webinar, “Radiocarbon Dating for Archaeology.” This webinar will explain how to choose, submit, and interpret archaeological samples to produce dates you can confidently use and defend. We hope that prospective applicants to the award will attend the webinar. This session will take place on February 27, 2026 at 11:00 am Eastern Time (US and Canada)/4:00 PM GMT. Sign up here!

SAS thanks SGS Beta for partnering to encourage early career researchers in archaeological science!
