This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $321,936 to Texas A&M University to investigate human adaptation and resilience in high-altitude archaeological sites. The project aims to determine how small-scale foraging societies persisted in challenging environments over thousands of years by analyzing detailed environmental and behavioral data from multiple sites. In addition to scholarly...
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...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075 - Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) provides $324,824 to Archaeology Southwest, a non-profit organization, to conduct research on the role of diet in the process of long-term cultural integration among migrant and local groups in the 14th century. The project examines changes over generations in how plants and animals were used for food, raw materials, and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $335,194 supports an archaeological investigation of recently discovered monumental hydraulic features at an important archaeological site. The project aims to establish when these features were constructed, whether they were contemporaneous with other monumental constructions, and the functions they served, such as ritual and aquaculture. The study will involve excavations, soil...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), will support an archaeological investigation focused on understanding the environmental and social strategies that enabled the transition from hunting and gathering to farming in a dense tropical forest context. The $276,441 award to the Dominguez Hills Foundation at California State University, Dominguez Hills, a Hispanic-Serving Institution, will...
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 $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 $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 $500,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a research project titled "Expanding Geoarchaeology Opportunities for Underrepresented Students through Multiproxy Investigations of Human-Environmental Dynamics." The project aims to expand training opportunities for students in archaeological field and laboratory methods, with a focus on removing barriers that limit...
