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 $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) 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 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) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports an early career postdoctoral researcher investigating how to improve the ability to understand the deep history of population health from evidence in the archaeological record. The project aims to develop and use cutting-edge computational methods, including generative modeling and Bayesian inference, to test the accuracy of current analytical methods in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075 - Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) provides $324,824 to Archaeology Southwest, a non-profit organization, to conduct research on the role of diet in the process of long-term cultural integration among migrant and local groups in the 14th century. The project examines changes over generations in how plants and animals were used for food, raw materials, and...
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 three-year, $279,546 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) will fund research into the drivers and proxies of behavioral diversity among late Pleistocene and Holocene hunter-gatherers. A team led by Yale University will conduct archaeological excavations and analyses in two regions where ancient DNA analysis has revealed hunter-gatherer populations began maintaining separate biological groupings near the end of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $133,404 to fund a collaborative research project focused on investigating the early emergence of tool use in the human lineage. The funding supports research at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History to expand the geological, paleontological, archaeological and hominin records at a site dating between approximately 3 and 2.6 million years ago. The...
This $266,706 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports archaeological and paleoenvironmental research to study the role of coastal habitats in the survival of early humans. The research team at the University of Louisville will generate new empirical data in the form of stone artifacts, paleoenvironmental records, and geochronological data to understand the range of habitats exploited by...
