Project Grant 2150854
- 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...
- This $170,992 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research effort led by Brown University to develop AI-based tools for conducting continental-scale archaeological surveys. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award (Aug 2024 - Jul 2027) include: Developing new deep learning models to automatically identify abandoned archaeological structures in...
- 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 $626,859 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports the development of AI-based tools for continental-scale archaeological surveys. The project aims to leverage high-resolution satellite imagery and machine learning models to map abandoned structures and archaeological features across nearly 2 million square kilometers. This will enable researchers to better understand long-term trends in human...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program totaling $157,233 will fund collaborative archaeological research at the University of South Florida from May 2022 through April 2024. The research aims to characterize the relationship between indigenous inhabitants and European settlers at an informal colonial trading encampment in Temple Terrace, Florida through remote sensing, geophysical surveys, coring, and excavation. The project...
- 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 $500,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a research project titled "Expanding Geoarchaeology Opportunities for Underrepresented Students through Multiproxy Investigations of Human-Environmental Dynamics." The project aims to expand training opportunities for students in archaeological field and laboratory methods, with a focus on removing barriers that limit...
- 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 $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 an archaeological site. Combined with geospatial analyses, the magnetometry data will allow researchers to visualize the subsurface remains and compare the city's growth trajectory to other early urban centers. The digital data and analyses will be made publicly available through online repositories. In addition to mapping the precolonial landscape, the project aims to provide insights into indigenous urbanization and ensure indigenous stakeholders can participate as stewards of the culturally sensitive data. Funded under the federal Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), this NSF grant will generate archaeological data with long-term benefits for research, education, site management and indigenous collaboration at this important early American city.
