| 13 Things ASOR Donors and Members Helped Accomplish in 2020 |
It has become cliché to say that 2020 has been a year like no other. For ASOR, this has been a year when we expanded our scholarships and services in spite of the challenges (see infographic). While many societies and non-profits are tightening operations, we are expanding our reach and programs. ASOR has not only changed our name and renewed our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion—the Board has made a commitment to operate with an eye on the long-term, and we need your support and help to continue our shared work.

2021 Grants for ASOR Archaeological Projects—Deadline is February 15
|
For the summer of 2021, ASOR is pleased to support grants to archaeological research projects. We plan to award 3 Harris Grants ($5,000 each) and 1 Seger Grant ($2,500 with a match required). These grants will be made to archaeological projects or to project directors (not for individual research). They are designed to support non-fieldwork research, analysis, and publication. For 2021 only, funds may not be used for research or projects that involve international travel. The application deadline is February 15, 2021. Please email Marta Ostovich (programs@asor.org) with any questions.

| Read ARS 27 Edited By Ken Holum |
This volume presents the results of the many years of excavation by the Combined Caesarea Expeditions, organized to explore the city and harbor of ancient Caesarea. Holum presents CCE’s original research questions, the overall stratigraphy of the site, and the team’s findings about Caesarea from the Hellenistic period to the end of antiquity in the seventh century CE. In so doing, the volume makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the transition from paganism to Christianity in Late Antiquity. The volume presents the archaeological evidence for this transition, paying careful attention to the foundations of the temple and church, fragments of the superstructure of both monumental buildings, the Herodian and Byzantine staircases that rose directly from the harbor to the temple and church, the pottery, coins, and other evidence.
