Cooperative Agreement L13AC00079

This $313,226 National Science Foundation project grant will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the landscape of one of the earliest cities in the United States through non-invasive archaeological techniques. The awardee, Colorado State University, will perform high-resolution magnetometry surveys covering over 5.5 square kilometers to map buried archaeological features across the entire urban landscape. This will be the largest such geophysical survey ever conducted in the Americas on...

This $141,318 National Science Foundation award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the landscape of one of the earliest cities in the United States. The researchers will conduct a high-resolution magnetometry survey covering over 5.5 sq km of the urban landscape, making it the largest such subsurface survey ever performed in the Americas for an archaeological site. This near-total geophysical survey of the subsurface will...

This $170,710 National Science Foundation project grant, awarded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), will fund collaborative research by Bryn Mawr College to reconstruct the landscape of one of the earliest urban centers in the United States. The researchers will conduct a high-resolution magnetometry survey covering over 5.5 square kilometers to map archaeological features below the surface. This will be the largest such survey ever performed in the...

This $138,559 National Science Foundation Project Grant supports the development of machine learning methods to automatically detect archaeological features of varying sizes as well as anthropogenic landscape modifications in light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data from tropical regions. Awarded on August 1, 2022 to the University of Nebraska with a completion date of July 31, 2024, this grant falls under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). An...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $270,834 Project Grant through its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the Alexandria Archive Institute, a non-profit technology company, for a 5-year project titled "OPEN CONTEXT: SUSTAINING A COLLABORATIVE DATA INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ARCHAEOLOGY". The project aims to sustain and enhance the Open Context platform, which has emerged as a globally recognized platform for reviewing, curating, and publishing...

Archaeology Southwest received a three-year, $802,714 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA #47.075). The award will support the development of cyberinfrastructure for interdisciplinary research on households and landscapes in the ancient American Southwest. Specifically, Archaeology Southwest will create an integrated database and online mapping...

This Project Grant award, valued at $191,822.00, was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (CFDA 15.814). The award will fund three priority efforts at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Preserving geological samples obtained from infrastructure and dam projects, and making them available for future research in areas such as agriculture, water resources, and natural resources. This will involve photographing,...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $236,131.00 to Emory University to conduct a comprehensive archaeological study of early human settlements in rural settings. The key products and services to be delivered include: Targeted excavations and remote sensing analysis to examine rural settlement patterns, agricultural organization and production, and the interaction between rural communities...

Archaeology Southwest received a $166,684 cooperative agreement award from the Department of the Interior National Park Service under the Cooperative Research and Training Programs – Resources of the National Park System (CFDA 15.945) program. Through this award, Archaeology Southwest will conduct a comprehensive landscape history and documentation of existing conditions for a site in Grants, New Mexico from June 2023 through December 2026. The organization will analyze findings to indicate...

This three-year, $1.28 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the acquisition of a Mini Carbon Dating System (MICADAS) to support multi-millennial, multi-user carbon-14 dating applications at the University of Arizona's Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research (LTRR). The MICADAS instrument and associated sample preparation equipment will maximize throughput of precise, small-sample radiocarbon measurements from tree-rings and other...
