The National Science Foundation awarded a $291,713 Project Grant under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) to conduct a dendrochronology (tree-ring dating) study. This two-year project aims to establish a new high-resolution chronology for the archaeological record in a region that experienced cultural adaptation and transitions between the 8th and 12th centuries AD due to climate...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences grant award, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $221,804 to the University of Arizona's Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research (LTRR) from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2025. The funding supports the LTRR's dendrochronological research, which utilizes tree-ring analysis to provide highly precise dating and chronology-building for archaeological sites and contexts. This...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $191,700 to Arizona State University (ASU) to investigate changes in prehistoric human foraging, mobility patterns, and population dynamics in response to environmental change during the later Pleistocene. The research aims to provide broader context to occupations in a coastal region by comparing new archaeological data analyses to detailed models of the...
This three-year, $1.28 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the acquisition of a Mini Carbon Dating System (MICADAS) to support multi-millennial, multi-user carbon-14 dating applications at the University of Arizona's Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research (LTRR). The MICADAS instrument and associated sample preparation equipment will maximize throughput of precise, small-sample radiocarbon measurements from tree-rings and other...
This Project Grant award of $236,131 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a comprehensive archaeological study of early human settlements in rural settings. The research, conducted by Emory University, aims to examine the relationship between imperial settlement policies and local community dynamics, with a focus on agricultural organization, production, and the interaction between rural communities and the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $229,198 to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) to build infrastructure and capacity for radiocarbon dating of non-structural carbohydrates in long-lived trees. The project aims to enhance understanding of the role of old carbohydrate reserves in trees' resilience to extreme climate events. The funding will support a fellowship for the principal investigator and a...
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 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 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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $147,602 Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant will support collaborative research to document the origins and early consumption of key Neotropical food crops like maize and manioc through micobotanical analysis of samples from archaeological sites in northern Neotropical forests dating from 12,500 to 1,000 calibrated years before...
