    Your conceit of Lara Croft with a laser gun was enough to earn my donation. Good Luck, BJH (TxDOT)

    Can you thank L. Croft in a footnote or acknowledgement to your paper? :-p This would make us all happy!

    Best of luck with your research. Also take a look at the Society for Archaeological Sciences or Sigma Xi. They award small grants to grad students.

    I know our chapter of Sigma Xi gives to undergrad research too.

    I don't qualify for the SAS awards, but I could try for one of their poster awards when I present at the SAA's. I didn't know about Sigma Xi - luckily I got my funding, so I won't have to worry about that, though I will let others know about it in the future. Thanks!
