Project Grant 2115154
- This $268,585 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075) supports long-term research examining human-environment interactions along the Pacific Coast. The research team from the University of Nevada, Reno will conduct archaeological surveys and excavations, radiocarbon dating, and stable isotope analysis of marine shells and fish remains to develop a chronology of coastal occupation and paleoenvironmental change over...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $335,194 supports an archaeological investigation of recently discovered monumental hydraulic features at an important archaeological site. The project aims to establish when these features were constructed, whether they were contemporaneous with other monumental constructions, and the functions they served, such as ritual and aquaculture. The study will involve excavations, soil...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $152,407 Project Grant to the University of South Florida (USF) from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2027 under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant supports a collaborative research project that examines the resilience and long-term productivity of small-scale coastal fisheries in a mangrove wetland ecosystem. The research leverages diverse archaeological...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $662,562 Project Grant under its Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to the Smithsonian Institution to acquire a stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer and associated peripheral devices. This equipment will support modern and deep-time interdisciplinary environmental research and education at the Smithsonian, with a focus on tracking light stable isotopes to investigate issues related to climate change, ecology/biology, and anthropology....
- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $600,000 project grant to the Smithsonian Institution Office of Sponsored Projects to support research titled "LTREB: THIRTY-FOUR YEARS OF TIDAL MARSH RESPONSE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE." The award period is from March 15, 2021 through February 28, 2026. Under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the grantee will analyze 34 years of tidal marsh data to strengthen understanding of how coastal wetlands...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences Project Grant for $486,851 awarded to the Smithsonian Institution's Office of Sponsored Projects supports the Summer Institute in Museum Anthropology (SIMA), an intensive four-week program to train graduate students and faculty on using museum objects in cultural anthropology research. The grant enables participants to gain hands-on experience analyzing museum collections from the Smithsonian's vast...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $269,808 Project Grant under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Hawaii to conduct archaeological research on the development of social complexity in ancient societies. The project aims to better understand how variation in household interactions, activities, social roles, and relationships within and between communities led to the emergence of regionally-integrated socially complex societies....
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $108,757, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to San Diego State University Foundation. The award, effective August 15, 2024 through July 31, 2026, supports a collaborative research project that investigates changes in prehistoric human foraging, mobility patterns, and population dynamics in response to environmental change during the later Pleistocene. The research...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $252,253 to Washington State University to investigate the relationship between economic and sociopolitical structures in a prehistoric society. The key activities include: Conducting excavations of known lithic (stone tool) production areas, analyzing previously excavated materials, and using geochemical analysis techniques like inductively coupled...
- This $254,602 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports research on how marginalized communities navigated changing social and economic landscapes through the production, exchange, and use of everyday ceramic objects. The project team will use innovative comparative techniques to analyze archaeological "big data" from colonoware pottery fragments, in collaboration with descendant...
The Smithsonian Institution will receive $148,087 under a two-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: COUPLING ARCHAEOLOGICAL SHELL AND NOVEL ISOTOPE APPROACHES TO RECONSTRUCT IMPACT OF NEARSHORE PRODUCTIVITY CHANGE." The award is part of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to promote basic research and education in these fields. Specifically, the grant will fund collaborative research using archaeological shell samples and novel isotope analysis techniques to reconstruct changes in nearshore productivity and their impacts. The project period is January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023.
