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...
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 award of $260,706 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) supports a research team at the University of Louisville to conduct archaeological and paleoenvironmental research on the role of coastal habitats in the survival of early humans. The key products and services to be delivered include: Collecting cultural remains (stone artifacts), geomorphic data, and sediment samples to establish the sedimentary...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $108,757, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to San Diego State University Foundation. The award, effective August 15, 2024 through July 31, 2026, supports a collaborative research project that investigates changes in prehistoric human foraging, mobility patterns, and population dynamics in response to environmental change during the later Pleistocene. The research...
This two-year, $143,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences program will fund postdoctoral research examining the long-term effects of socioeconomic activity on ecological stability. Under the sponsorship of Dr. Kristina Douglass at Columbia University, the early career scientist will study the impacts of different small-scale foraging, herding and agricultural livelihood strategies on soil and vegetation diversity. By shifting...
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 $221,164 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program examines how human food practices and subsistence strategies adapted to environmental changes in small-scale societies. The research involves a comprehensive study of plant and animal food remains preserved in archaeological sites, integrated with high-resolution paleoclimatic data. The goal is to develop a fine-grained record of hunter-gatherer...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $268,083 to investigate how an ancient community adapted their social relationships and subsistence strategies to overcome disappearing water resources and increasing economic pressures during a period of early state formation. The research team, led by the CAL Poly Corporation, will analyze architectural developments, material culture production, pottery...
This $181,302 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative archaeological research at the University of South Alabama from May 2022 to April 2025. The research will investigate how communities form and cultural traditions develop through migration and settlement in new ecological contexts. Researchers will examine social relationships and networks formed through the production and use of pottery in a coastal region, some by recent migrants. They will employ social network...
This two-year, $286,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will support research investigating the importance of bone marrow consumption in human evolution. Specifically, the grant will fund an early career scientist to conduct independent research under the sponsorship of Colorado State University analyzing bone breakage patterns from modern animal bone collections and zooarchaeological samples. Using new 3D scanning and...
