- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $138,337 project grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to Trustees of Dartmouth College to investigate how livestock domestication shaped historical shifts in food production and economic organization. The project aims to advance understanding of the origins of agriculture and the development of early social structures through innovative biotechnological methods, microfossil analysis, dental calculus...
- 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 $185,453 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports collaborative research to quantify shifts in maize production in North America over the past 1,200 years. The research leverages paleoclimate data, weather modeling, and crop simulation techniques to understand the impacts of historical megadroughts and climate change on food production. Key activities include developing open-source software for climate field...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under CFDA 47.075 (Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) supports a collaborative research project to investigate the relationship between agricultural practices and social change during periods of crisis. The $110,305 award to Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina will fund archaeological excavations, laboratory analyses, and computational modeling to study how...
- 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...
- The Trustees of Dartmouth College received a two-year, $101,572 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075).

As indicated in the program description, the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program...
- This $521,387 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to investigate the dynamics of crop diversification and simplification traps in agricultural systems. The project uses modeling, interviews, and historical data analysis to characterize how socio-technical lock-in can pose barriers to greater crop diversification, and how this in turn impacts the resilience of interconnected...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $121,978 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. to investigate the long-term relationship between climate change and agricultural response, focusing on human interactions with plants and animals in dynamic natural and cultural landscapes. The research aims to illuminate how agrarian societies have responded to pronounced environmental...
- 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.
