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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), will support collaborative archaeological research to investigate the relationship between agriculture, environmental change, and social inequality over time. The $118,277 grant awarded to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) will enable a transdisciplinary team to analyze agricultural practices, food webs, and land use...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $269,808 Project Grant under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Hawaii to conduct archaeological research on the development of social complexity in ancient societies. The project aims to better understand how variation in household interactions, activities, social roles, and relationships within and between communities led to the emergence of regionally-integrated socially complex societies....
This $102,340 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, will fund research investigating the motivations and environmental contexts driving the historical spread of agriculture. Key activities include: Archaeological excavations at three primary research sites to assess the relative commitment to domesticated plants versus wild forerunners, as well as analyze radiocarbon-dated plant material to clarify the pace of...
This $170,992 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research effort led by Brown University to develop AI-based tools for conducting continental-scale archaeological surveys. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award (Aug 2024 - Jul 2027) include: Developing new deep learning models to automatically identify abandoned archaeological structures in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $109,829 to Wake Forest University will support research to investigate the role of public architecture and rituals in the development of ancient societies, including the transition to sedentary farming lifestyles and social complexity. The key objectives are to: 1) date ceremonial complexes, 2) locate associated residential areas, and 3) recover evidence of early foodways. The...
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 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 $626,859 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports the development of AI-based tools for continental-scale archaeological surveys. The project aims to leverage high-resolution satellite imagery and machine learning models to map abandoned structures and archaeological features across nearly 2 million square kilometers. This will enable researchers to better understand long-term trends in human...
This $284,304 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) supports a multidisciplinary research initiative led by the University of Central Florida to investigate how the actions of non-elite individuals shaped the development of early urban centers. The project will employ intensive archaeological surveys, excavations, and scientific analyses to evaluate patterns of wealth, health, and economic activities among the...
