Dear Colleagues,

As Editor-in-Chief of Heritage, I am pleased to announce the winner of the 2023 Travel Award. The award has been granted to: Dr. Dominika Sieczkowska, a post-doctoral fellow at the Center for Andean Studies of the University of Warsaw, Poland. Her research concerns the ritual functions of Inca baths in the llaqta of Machu Picchu and its satellite sites.

As the awardee, she will each receive an honorarium of CHF 800 and an electronic certificate.

With so many high-quality applicants, the evaluation process and final decision were challenging. We would like to thank all the applicants for submitting their diverse and fascinating range of research topics. On behalf of the assessment committee, I congratulate the winner on her accomplishments.

Prof. Dr. Nicola Masini
