The Classical
Archaeology Fund
The Göksu
Archaeological Project (GAP) is a five-year archaeological and architectural
survey of the Upper Göksu River Valley in south-central Turkey. The project
participants form an annual staff of some 40 archaeologists, specialists, and
graduate and undergraduate students from the United
States, United Kingdom,
Turkey, Germany, and
elsewhere.
Generous
contributions have been made by the British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara, the College of Charleston, and private
benefactors. Private donations contribute towards
meeting our direct costs which include travel, room and board, permit fees, and
equipment, as well as being crucial in establishing matching funds for
federal grants such as the NEH and NSF. The Classical
Archaeology Fund was established in November of 2003 by the Department of
Classics at the College
of Charleston in order to
receive gifts from individuals, corporations, and businesses, with the purpose
of providing support for the research objectives of GAP. Contributions are not used for indirect costs, salaries,
wages, or honoraria of senior project personnel. While specific and targeted contributions
are welcome, unspecified donations are also appreciated and will be expended as
needed by the project.
