The National Science Foundation awarded a $143,000 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to the University of Missouri Research Reactor to support historical archaeology research from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024. The grant will fund an early career scientist to analyze consumer goods, food remains, and merchant ledgers from eight archaeological sites in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley to provide new insights into how class shaped racial identity in the antebellum South. Key deliverables include excavating four sites, reanalyzing four additional collections, studying 4,000 faunal fragments and residues from 330 ceramic vessels using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. An archival database will also be created using 10 merchants' ledgers cross-referenced with census and tax records. Results will be shared with the public through lectures and a museum exhibit.
