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) 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 (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $342,692 will support an academic-industry collaborative research project to develop new methods for exploring and discovering copper-nickel-sulfide mineral deposits in the United States. The project team from the University of Michigan and Juniata College, in partnership with mining industry professionals, will test the hypothesis that the ratio of copper isotopes in ground and...
This $427,699 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to improve the understanding of how copper accumulates in significant concentrations, particularly in porphyry copper deposits. The project will test models of porphyry copper deposit formation by studying deposits in Sonora, Mexico, and develop geochemical tools to aid in the discovery of new copper deposits. The research will also train a Latino early-career scientist, a...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $270,013 to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) to investigate the processes that concentrate critical metals in porphyry copper deposits. The principal objectives are to assess the spatial and temporal variation in ore-forming processes, with a focus on using pyrite as a recorder of changes in metal sources and fluid compositions. The research team, which includes graduate and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $444,296 project grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan (University of Michigan) to conduct collaborative research on improving the understanding of how two types of copper ore deposits form and developing methods to find undiscovered deposits. The grant, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support a graduate student and several undergraduates in mapping, logging, sampling, and...
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...
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 $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...
