The Douglass C. Kellogg Award provides support for thesis or dissertation research, with emphasis on the field and/or laboratory aspects of this research, for graduate students in the earth sciences and archaeology. Recipients of the Kellogg Award will be students who have:

    1.    an interest in achieving the M.S., M.A., or Ph.D. degree in earth sciences or archaeology;

    2.    an interest in applying earth science methods to archaeological research; and

    3.    an interest in a career in geoarchaeology.

Under the auspices of the SAA's Geoarchaeology Interest Group, family, friends, and close associates of Douglass C. Kellog formed a memorial in his honor. The interest from money donated to the Douglass C. Kellog fund is used for the annual award. Initially the amount to be awarded on an annual basis was $500. The amount of the award given to the recipient will increase as the fund grows and the amount of the annual interest increases.
