What happens if I am awarded support:  Anticipated support varies but normally runs around $750, (1/3 being contributed by each sponsor named above).  The Executive Secretary/Treasurer of the Wyoming Archaeological Society will mail recipient(s) a letter notifying recipients of the award amount, and the check will be included.  You will be invited to present your paper/poster to the next Wyoming Archaeological Society spring meeting, and encouraged to submit an abstract of the research to The Wyoming Archaeologist.  If and when the scholarly paper is published, the award recipient is asked to acknowledge WAS, WAF, and WAPA as contributors to the effort.
