Project Grant 2148034
- 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...
- This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund a $157,743 research project conducted by the University of Wisconsin - Madison. The project will explore the environmental and behavioral contexts surrounding the emergence of pottery technologies in early hunter-gatherer societies. The research team will examine changes in settlement patterns, mobility, and associated artifact assemblages at...
- 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 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, funds a comprehensive archaeological study of early human settlements in rural settings. The research builds on previous work, combining targeted excavations and remote sensing techniques to examine site occupancy during both the height and decline of the local society. The $236,131 award, valid from January 15, 2025 to December 31, 2027, investigates the...
- This two-year, $148,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports modeling of long-term urban and rural settlement dynamics through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant recipient will conduct archaeological and geospatial analyses to develop a predictive rural site distribution model and targeted survey of an urban hinterland in order to refine global urbanism models. Specifically, the recipient will use low-cost aerial and satellite imagery...
- This two-year, $217,923 National Science Foundation project grant funds collaborative research on human networks, sustainable development, and lived experience in a nonindustrial society. Led by researchers from multiple universities and tribal communities, the grantees will investigate relationships between spatial patterns of social interaction and quality of life over 800 years in the Southwestern United States. They will combine existing demographic, socioeconomic, health, and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences Project Grant, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $192,084 to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to conduct research on pottery production and trade at the Chaco Canyon UNESCO World Heritage Site. The research aims to determine the precise production location of Cibola pottery, which constitutes the majority of ceramic artifacts recovered from Chaco Canyon, in...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $212,756 awarded on September 1, 2022 will fund research into the economic integration of rural regions in prehistoric times. Under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), Arizona State University will investigate trade and economic behavior in a peripheral rural area located far from major population centers through analyzing excavated archaeological artifacts. Researchers will determine if elite trade networks,...
- 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...
- 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 $181,302 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative archaeological research at the University of South Alabama from May 2022 to April 2025. The research will investigate how communities form and cultural traditions develop through migration and settlement in new ecological contexts. Researchers will examine social relationships and networks formed through the production and use of pottery in a coastal region, some by recent migrants. They will employ social network analysis incorporating attributes of pottery to develop a spatially and temporally sensitive model. The methods aim to provide a model for examining fine-grained distinctions in material culture practice and how objects connect people through kinship, trade, political alliances and religious practice. This award reflects the National Science Foundation's statutory mission under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to promote basic research and education in these fields and monitor science investment.
