New archaeology tranche for Emergent Ventures
2025-10-12 04:50 UTC by Tyler Cowen

Just apply at the normal site.  Here is a description of what we are up to and what we are looking for:

  • We are giving archaeology-specific EV grants
  • Emphasis on projects enabled by tech (AI/CV, lidar, synthetic aperture radar and hyperspectral imagery, open source data, etc)
  • Flexible on cost or duration of projects
  • All circumstances encouraged (grad student funding a project she’s working on, swe wanting to take a few months off to work on something, high school student side project, etc)
  • Ideas below are by no means comprehensive or the edges of the search area – just starting points for exploration for people interested in the field that don’t have a specific idea in mind yet

Examples of ideas:

For these notes I thank Mehran Jalali, a former EV winner in this area, who also will serve as one of the referees.  When you apply, just indicate that your request is for archaeology.  Soon this will be a formal category on the application itself, if somehow you are already ready to apply tomorrow a.m., just use the word in your project description.

We thank Yonatan Ben Shimon for his generous support of this tranche.
