Each fall the Council of Virginia
Archaeologists (COVA) presents awards in memory of Michael Hoffman, Professor of
Anthropology at the University of Virginia, and Virginia Sherman, Westmoreland
County’s Historic Preservation Officer. The Hoffman Award, for organizations,
and the Sherman Award, for individuals, recognize those outside of the
professional archaeological community who have made significant contributions to
archaeological site preservation or historic preservation within the
Commonwealth. Some examples of possible recipients include local municipalities,
corporations, politicians and developers.
The contributions made by the nominee could include, but are not limited to, advocacy and/or enactment of pro-preservation laws and proffers, research funding, site preservation, easement donations or support of public education programs. The following criteria are intentionally vague in order to encourage creativity in recognizing those who actively seek to save our cultural heritage.
