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 $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 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 $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...
This $284,304 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) supports a multidisciplinary research initiative led by the University of Central Florida to investigate how the actions of non-elite individuals shaped the development of early urban centers. The project will employ intensive archaeological surveys, excavations, and scientific analyses to evaluate patterns of wealth, health, and economic activities among the...
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 $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 $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 $206,850 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will support archaeological fieldwork and remote sensing research to study the relationship between island size and human population history. Led by Carleton College, the project will conduct systematic surveys and geomorophological studies of 30 uninhabited islands to investigate how island characteristics like size, environment, and location impacted patterns of...
