After a successful 2022, we’re excited to announce that the CARD Fund has reopened to applications for 2023.
You can apply on the website any time before the deadline of the 30 November 2023.
What is the CARD Fund
Each year, the Community Archaeology Radiocarbon Dating (CARD) Fund provides funding for ten radiocarbon dates from British archaeological sites which are organised by community archaeology groups. It is co-sponsored by ARS Ltd and the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre and has so far provided funding for over 70 dates from around fifty different projects.
Funded projects in 2022
The Fund provided a total of 12 radiocarbon dates for nine community archaeology projects last year. These sites were based all around the UK, from a Bronze Age burnt mound in Moray in the north of Scotland, to a ‘lost church’ of Wenden Parva in Essex, all the way down to Anglo Saxon remains on the south coast in Romsey.
