Congratulations to the 2019 Bigel Award winner:<\/strong>
\nAnna Ruane<\/p>\n

This spring I was awarded the Bigel Grant which I used to attend the Gotland Field School on the island Gotland, located off the coast of Sweden. It was a 5 week long archaeological field school. While there, we studied Viking Age artifacts, some of which included a sword, sacrificed weapons, and a burial. The field school also took us on rural excursions where we were able to learn about the culture of Gotland. The Bigel Grant allowed me to continue to study archaeology outside of the United States and gave me more experience in the field.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
