This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $106,623 to the University of Illinois to conduct collaborative research on how peripheral neighborhoods in an ancient city relate to the historical trajectory of that city. The researchers will use archaeological methods such as geophysical survey, soil coring, and targeted excavation to examine the material evidence for engagement, identity, and inequality...
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...
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 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 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences provides $297,566 to support research assessing scales of power and inequality in early states. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the award to the University of Texas at Austin from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2026 will evaluate how environmental setting, differential access to resources, and trade networks impacted inequality at nested...
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 $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 $559,558 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the collapse of early urbanism at an ancient city in central Mexico. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the grant enables a collaborative project between Iowa State University and Arizona State University to investigate the transition between the Classic and Epiclassic periods at Teotihuacan through July 2026. The principal investigators and their students will conduct...
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 $185,779 National Science Foundation project grant to The University of Toledo will fund collaborative research to understand how neighborhoods at the geographical margins of an ancient city may have been socially peripheral or fully engaged in central city projects and activities. The research team will examine two neighborhoods at the physical periphery of a prehistoric city occupied for roughly three centuries by both local and non-local peoples. Through non-invasive geophysical survey, soil coring, and targeted excavation, the researchers will compare the neighborhoods to gauge occupational investment and participation in the urban project by analyzing architectural style, neighborhood organization, material access, and other indicators. This work aims to provide insight into the nuanced relationship between social investment, neighborhood identities, and modern city futures from a grassroots perspective. It also supports student training in archaeological techniques while engaging the local immigrant community. The research products will contribute to understanding of city creation processes and address the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program goal of promoting basic research in these fields.
