Overview
The Bunnell Lewis Research Fund Grant, offered by the Royal Archaeological Institute, supports projects focused on the excavation and exploration of Roman sites within the British Isles. It prioritizes applications from local groups and encourages involvement from part-time and amateur archaeologists. The fund covers costs for fieldwork, surveys, and post-excavation research, while restrictions apply to funding undergraduate work and projects already receiving other grants. Membership in the Institute may also enhance application prospects.
Its patron is Her Majesty The Queen.
The Institute's interests span all aspects of the archaeological, architectural and landscape history of the British Isles. Membership is open to all with an interest in these areas.
The Bunnell Lewis Research Fund is available each year for projects, which preferably involve the excavation and exploration of Roman sites.
