Project Grant 2311167
- This $254,602 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports research on how marginalized communities navigated changing social and economic landscapes through the production, exchange, and use of everyday ceramic objects. The project team will use innovative comparative techniques to analyze archaeological "big data" from colonoware pottery fragments, in collaboration with descendant...
- 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 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund a $157,743 research project conducted by the University of Wisconsin - Madison. The project will explore the environmental and behavioral contexts surrounding the emergence of pottery technologies in early hunter-gatherer societies. The research team will examine changes in settlement patterns, mobility, and associated artifact assemblages at...
- The Crow Canyon Archaeological Center, Inc. was awarded a $279,115 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The grant will fund the REU SITE: Northern Chaco Outliers Project in Archaeology from April 15, 2021 through March 31, 2024. The project aims to contribute to the scientific strength and welfare of the Nation through the promotion of basic research...
- This $102,546 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075 - Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) to the University of Arizona funds a collaborative research project reconstructing the early history of mining and long-distance trade of metals, such as copper and tin, within a region that saw the origins of metallurgy between approximately 400 and 1750 AD. The project focuses on indirectly reconstructing precolonial...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program awarded a $165,000 Project Grant for a 2-year Postdoctoral Fellowship. The fellowship, sponsored by Dr. Brandi L. MacDonald at the University of Missouri, supports an early-career scientist examining the intersection of aesthetics and politics in the production of ceramic vessels. The research project will focus on investigating the procurement of raw materials, including clays, tempers, and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $222,784 to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) to investigate the role of metallurgy and trade in sociopolitical complexity across historical time periods. The research will analyze tin isotopes to trace the sourcing and exchange of critical metals like tin, which were necessary for Bronze Age metal production and...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $212,756 awarded on September 1, 2022 will fund research into the economic integration of rural regions in prehistoric times. Under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), Arizona State University will investigate trade and economic behavior in a peripheral rural area located far from major population centers through analyzing excavated archaeological artifacts. Researchers will determine if elite trade networks,...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences Project Grant, awarded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $185,270 to the University of Massachusetts Boston to conduct archaeological investigations of an 18th-century Spanish ranch in New Mexico. The project explores the processes of early modern colonization and development of colonial societies, focusing on the creation of Hispanic society in the United...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $180,912 Project Grant to the University of Missouri System, doing business as the Curators of the University of Missouri, to support a collaborative research project on the role of long-distance metallurgy trade in establishing social complexity. The project aims to reconstruct the early history of mining and long-distance trade of metals, such as copper and tin, in a region where metallurgy first...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences Project Grant, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $192,084 to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to conduct research on pottery production and trade at the Chaco Canyon UNESCO World Heritage Site. The research aims to determine the precise production location of Cibola pottery, which constitutes the majority of ceramic artifacts recovered from Chaco Canyon, in order to advance understanding of the economic support and relationships within the Chaco system. This 2-year project will employ neutron activation and electron microprobe analysis of Cibola ceramics from 36 Chacoan sites, creating a large compositional reference database for future research. The project also provides STEM training opportunities for students and facilitates engagement with Pueblo potters to align the research with the values and interests of relevant indigenous communities.
