Four Students Awarded Joukowsky Memorial Fieldwork Funding for 2025

The Joukowsky Fieldwork Fund was established in memory of Professor Martha Sharp Joukowsky and Chancellor Artemis A.W. Joukowsky for their many contributions to Brown University and the field of archaeology. The fund was created by the generous support of former students, colleagues, and family and ensures that all undergraduate students at Brown have the opportunity to conduct research in field archaeology.

Artemis and Martha Joukowsky Students supported by the Martha Sharp and Artemis A.W. Joukowsky Memorial Fieldwork Fund in the summer of 2025 include:

Celina Bao was awarded funding to travel to Mallorca, Spain for a fieldschool of Roman Archaeology led by professors from the University of Barcelona, where she particpated in the excavation of the ancient city of Pollentia.
Rebecca Bushee also participated in the University of Barcelona's project in the Roman town of Pollentia, led by professors Cati Mas and Miguel Cau.
Sarine Dayan joined the Tell Azekah excavation, a site about 10km from Beit Shemesh, Israel in the center of the Shephela, the Judaen foothills, first settled in the early Bronze Age and later destroyed by the Assyrians and subsequently abandoned.
