Check out GSAÉD’s exciting scholarship opportunities for grad students!

The gsaéd inclusive research scholarship.

We would like to introduce to our members the GSAED Inclusive Research Scholarship.

The GSAED has developed a scholarship that aims to assist certain groups of students who are likely to be underfunded, as well as to support students working on research topics that are prone to underfunding.

We are aware that graduate students depend on their bursaries to succeed in their studies and that their mental health and academic performance are affected by the search for long-term funding. For these reasons, GSAED would like to offer up to $ 2,000 in total scholarships throughout the year to try to fill gaps in university and government underfunding.

Each semester (fall and winter only), two (2) graduate students will receive one (1) Inclusive Research Scholarship worth $ 500 each. A different theme will be chosen each semester by the Campaign Committee to allow more graduates to have a chance to win and to cover as many research topics as possible that may be prone to underfunding.

The theme of the scholarship for the 2020 fall semester concerns visible or invisible disabilities, including (physical and/or mental) . If you identify yourself and/or work on a related topic, you have until December 1st, 2020 8pm to submit a short essay of 500 to 1000 words.

For more information on the selection criteria, please consult this document , or email your Equity Commissioner at [email protected]

Once complete, you can submit your application to : [email protected]

** Students who self-identify as having a visible or invisible disability and whose research also focuses on disability will be given priority

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
