Richard Hay Student Paper/Poster Award
At the 2006 Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, PA, the Management Board of the Archaeological Geology Division elected to rename the student travel award for a distinguished scientist in Archaeological Geology. After consulting with his family, the student paper/poster award was officially named the Richard Hay Student Paper/Poster Award. Richard Hay was a long-standing member of the Archaeological Geology Division and had a long and distinguished career in sedimentary geology, mineralogy, and archaeological geology. He is particularly well known for his work on the Olduvai Gorge and Laetoli hominid-bearing sites and was awarded the Division's Rip Rapp award in 2000. The Division is proud to have our student travel award bear his name.
The Richard Hay Student Paper/Poster Award is a travel grant awarded to a student presenting a paper or poster at the GSA's annual meeting. The grant is competitive and will be awarded based on the evaluation of the scientific merit of the research topic and the clarity of an expanded abstract for the paper or poster prepared by a student for presentation in the Division's technical session at the meeting.

Claude C. Albritton, Jr. Award
Under the auspices of the Archaeological Geology Division, family, friends and close associates of Claude C. Albritton, Jr., have formed a memorial fund in his honor at the GSA Foundation. Initially, the fund was set up with a gift of several thousand dollars. Members of the division, other GSA members, and those who know Claude are being asked to consider contributing to this fund.
The Albritton Award Fund provides scholarships and fellowships for graduate students in the earth sciences or archaeology for research. Recipients of the award are students who have (1) an interest in achieving a Master's or Ph.D. degree in earth sciences or archaeology; (2) an interest in applying earth science methods to archaeological research; and (3) an interest in a career in teaching and academic research. Awards in the amount of $650 are given in support of thesis or dissertation research, with emphasis on the field and/or laboratory aspects of the research. Those desiring further information about these scholarships or applying for one should contact:
