This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $102,340.00 to the University of Oklahoma to investigate the motivations and environmental factors that influenced the historical adoption of agriculture as a livelihood strategy. The research aims to clarify whether the spread of farming occurred under environmental duress or was a deliberate choice when ecologically viable. Key activities include archaeological excavations to assess plant domestication, radiocarbon dating to determine the pace of farming's spread, and geochemical analyses to reconstruct past rainfall patterns and environmental conditions. The project will also provide STEM training opportunities, foster scientific partnerships, and conduct outreach in the host communities. This research seeks to advance scholarly understanding of one of the most significant economic and social transitions in human history.
