Notes:
Its aim is to encourage excellence in archaeological drawing, including the preparation of finished drawings for publication. It is hoped that awards will help individuals to improve their standards of draughtsmanship and also enable the preparation of a larger number of drawings, of higher quality, than might otherwise have been possible.
Applications, to be submitted by January 31 or June 30 each year, should specify the name(s) of the proposed draughtsman/men. Individual applicants must show that drawings are an essential part of their research. Furthermore, although not a precondition, it is hoped that they may be draughtsmen themselves. Applications from project directors, who may also apply during the course of a field campaign, are limited to unexpected expenses that are not provided for in the project's budget, such as extra maintenance costs to enable a draughtsman to draw unforeseen material and finds.
Up to three grants per annum are available. Grants are unlikely to be more than £200. (The Fund does not support printing expenses, or site drawings such as plans and sections, or computer graphics.)
Candidates should submit letters of application to the School's London office by post in four copies (British School at Athens, Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU) or by email (bsa@sas.ac.uk).
Letters should not be longer than two pages and should include a statement of the purposes of the application and a budget and timetable for the proposed work, together with the name and address of a referee whom the awarding panel(s) may consult. Recipients of awards must have been admitted as members of the School for the appropriate session before receiving their grants, and must submit a short report on the use of the grant to the London office by October 31. The awards will be made by a panel or panels chosen by the School's Research Committee and will be announced within a month of the closing dates.

To be eligible for funding under the English Heritage ALSF Programme, projects must:
1. be directly related to the impact on the historic environment of the extraction of aggregate that is subject to the levy
2. aim to reduce, rather than compensate for, the impact of aggregate extraction
3. be additional to activity in English Heritage's existing grants programmes
4. be additional to mineral operators' obligations through planning conditions
5. be delivered in England
Archaeological projects must in addition meet English Heritage's strategic priorities for archaeology which are currently set out in the Implementation Plan for Exploring our Past 1998 (EoP98).
Marine projects must meet English Heritage's strategic priorities for the marine historic environment which are set out in Taking to the Water.
Community Benefit
English Heritage is committed to widening access to, and understanding and enjoyment of, the historic environment. All projects funded through our ALSF Programme should, wherever possible, deliver these aims through programmes of outreach, education, interpretation and community involvement.
Joint Working & Partnership Funding
We encourage project proposals which promote partnership and joint working across different stakeholder groups and constituencies: the aggregates industry, local government, commercial contractors, the higher education and research sector, other environmental agencies, community groups and not-for-profit organisations, and the independent and voluntary sector.
The English Heritage ALSF Programme has no requirement for partnership funding but applications which bring partnership funding or some other resource contribution, and so lever-in additional resopurces for the historic environment, will be particularly welcomed. For eligible sources of partnership funding please see our Guidance Notes page.
We are happy to consider applications where joint funding is also being sought from English Nature and/or The Countryside Agency and/or CEFAS (for marine projects).
