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 $500,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a research project titled "Expanding Geoarchaeology Opportunities for Underrepresented Students through Multiproxy Investigations of Human-Environmental Dynamics." The project aims to expand training opportunities for students in archaeological field and laboratory methods, with a focus on removing barriers that limit...
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...
This $268,585 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075) supports long-term research examining human-environment interactions along the Pacific Coast. The research team from the University of Nevada, Reno will conduct archaeological surveys and excavations, radiocarbon dating, and stable isotope analysis of marine shells and fish remains to develop a chronology of coastal occupation and paleoenvironmental change over...
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 $268,083 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund an international team to investigate how an ancient community adapted their social relationships and subsistence strategies to overcome disappearing water resources and increasing economic pressures during a period of early state formation. The key products and services to be delivered include: In-depth archaeological case studies...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $266,706 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Louisville to conduct archaeological and paleoenvironmental research on the role of coastal habitats in the survival of early humans. The research team will generate new data on stone artifacts, paleoenvironmental conditions, and geochronological records to improve understanding of the range of habitats exploited by early humans and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), will support an archaeological investigation focused on understanding the environmental and social strategies that enabled the transition from hunting and gathering to farming in a dense tropical forest context. The $276,441 award to the Dominguez Hills Foundation at California State University, Dominguez Hills, a Hispanic-Serving Institution, will...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $152,407 Project Grant to the University of South Florida (USF) from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2027 under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant supports a collaborative research project that examines the resilience and long-term productivity of small-scale coastal fisheries in a mangrove wetland ecosystem. The research leverages diverse archaeological...
This Project Grant award of $152,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports collaborative paleontological and geological research to advance understanding of hominoid and hominin evolution. The project will recover fossil, paleoenvironmental, and geological data from 6-million-year-old sites relevant for understanding human origins. Key activities include intensive paleontological recovery, paleoenvironmental...
