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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), will support an archaeological investigation focused on understanding the environmental and social strategies that enabled the transition from hunting and gathering to farming in a dense tropical forest context. The $276,441 award to the Dominguez Hills Foundation at California State University, Dominguez Hills, a Hispanic-Serving Institution, will...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $266,706 Project Grant under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Louisville to conduct archaeological and paleoenvironmental research on the role of coastal habitats in the survival of early humans. The research team will utilize fieldwork, data recovery, and analytical methods to generate new empirical data in the form of stone artifacts, paleoenvironmental records, and geochronological (age)...
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 $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...
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 $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 $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 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $191,700 to Arizona State University (ASU) to investigate changes in prehistoric human foraging, mobility patterns, and population dynamics in response to environmental change during the later Pleistocene. The research aims to provide broader context to occupations in a coastal region by comparing new archaeological data analyses to detailed models of the...
