The University of Connecticut (UConn) received a $199,677 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant, awarded on February 1, 2024, will fund a research project examining the long-term dynamics of food, farming, and fuel use in relation to social and environmental changes over several thousand years in an environmentally sensitive region. The study will utilize archaeobotanical techniques, including the analysis of phytoliths, ash pseudomorphs, dung spherulites, and stable isotopes, to document ancient plant use and cultivation strategies. The integrated approach aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the interconnections between food, fuel, farming, social organization, and environmental change. The project will generate digital reference materials to be shared openly online, serving as a resource for other researchers. No subawards are planned under this grant.
