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...
