Each year around this time, the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society presents its Appreciation Awards to a small number of people whom we would like to recognize for their contributions to the goals and functioning of the society.
This year the awards have gone to four special individuals: Stephen H. Lekson, Brenda Todd, Emilee Mead, and Linda Pierce.
Steve Lekson is the outgoing editor of Kiva which he has produced for five years with the able assistance of Brenda Todd. Emilee Mead does an outstanding job as editor of Glyphs. Linda Pierce brought her expertise to bear in solving the society’s long-standing membership database issues. We thank them all!

Part of the mission of the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society is to support scholarship and research. Through a competitive process our support goes to graduate students in anthropology and archaeology at a number of colleges and universities. In each of the last two years the Research and Grant Fund appeal has raised over $4,000.
Our goal for this year is to raise $5,000
We hope we can count on your support!
