Important Guidance on Field Eligibility: Departments may submit a nomination that is interdisciplinary, so long as the book draws heavily from the methods and scholarship of the current year's field of competition (2024: Classical Studies and Archaeology). Since CGS is not in a position to advise universities on the eligibility of particular works of scholarship, it is up to the nominator to determine whether the book sufficiently meets this criterion, and with the understanding that their nomination will be evaluated alongside other books in the field of competition.
