The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $222,784 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (Rfcuny - Brooklyn College) with an award date of August 1, 2024 and an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2027.
The grant supports a research project examining the role of metallurgy and trade networks in the past, with a focus on investigating the sourcing and trade of tin during the Bronze Age. The project aims to document the response of trade networks to periods of disruption, such as the fall of early palatial centers, and inform economists and social scientists about the effects of supply chain disruptions and the efficacy of responses in the past. The research includes collaboration among scientists from multiple locations and the training of undergraduate students in archaeological methods. All data collected will be made publicly available.
