Project Grant 2513993
- 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 federal Project Grant award of $149,939, made by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports a study on "SOCIAL DYNAMICS IN LONG-TERM HUMAN-ENVIRONMENT INTERACTIONS" at Arizona State University (ASU). The study aims to integrate archaeological and paleoecological data to assess how human social dynamics, technological innovations, and environmental shifts interrelate. Key project activities include excavations,...
- 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...
- 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 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 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, funds a comprehensive archaeological study of early human settlements in rural settings. The research builds on previous work, combining targeted excavations and remote sensing techniques to examine site occupancy during both the height and decline of the local society. The $236,131 award, valid from January 15, 2025 to December 31, 2027, investigates the...
- 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 $246,278 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund a 3-year collaborative research project examining how living in a U.S.-Mexico border region shapes the experiences and adaptations of local residents to environmental changes such as shifts in temperature and precipitation patterns. The project, led by researchers at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV), will utilize ethnographic...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $102,340 to the University of Oklahoma to investigate the motivations and ecological contexts behind the historical spread of agriculture. The project will reconstruct the environmental conditions and decision-making processes involved as farming practices expanded, shedding light on whether this major economic transition occurred under duress or by choice when...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences provides $297,566 to support research assessing scales of power and inequality in early states. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the award to the University of Texas at Austin from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2026 will evaluate how environmental setting, differential access to resources, and trade networks impacted inequality at nested...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $120,215 to The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley to conduct collaborative research on how environmental conditions influence the evolution of social organization over thousands of years. The research uses advanced analytical techniques like phytolith analysis and stable isotope analysis to examine how factors such as resource availability, environmental stability, and emerging practices shaped the development of stratified societies. The project will also provide training for graduate students in archaeological methods. The research aims to advance scientific understanding of the key drivers behind long-term changes in social organization, with implications for anthropological theory and environmental policy. The award has an effective date of Sep 1, 2025, and a final completion date of Aug 31, 2028.
