Tübingen Prize for Older Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology

The Tübingen Prize for Older Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology has been awarded since 1999 by the Department of Older Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology at the Institute for Prehistory and Early History and Archeology of the Middle Ages at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen .

The prize amount of 5,000 euros is donated by the beverage manufacturer Romina Mineralbrunnen , previously also by the Ulm pharmaceutical company ratiopharm .

The award is given to innovative work by outstanding young scientists on older prehistory (Ice Age archeology), Quaternary ecology and human evolution. The work must be submitted in written and electronic form on CD / DVD or as a permanent download link.
