This $191,700 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports collaborative research 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 expand understanding of how foraging human populations used entire landscapes to extract resources and leave material traces of their behavior. The project involves a multi-institutional partnership, including recruiting students from previously disadvantaged groups to participate in field work and laboratory research. Additionally, the project will help design a public exhibit on the research findings at a World Cultural Heritage site to improve public engagement with science.
