Project Grant 2516895
- 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 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...
- 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 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 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 project grant of $212,756 awarded on September 1, 2022 will fund research into the economic integration of rural regions in prehistoric times. Under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), Arizona State University will investigate trade and economic behavior in a peripheral rural area located far from major population centers through analyzing excavated archaeological artifacts. Researchers will determine if elite trade networks,...
- This $154,173 National Science Foundation project grant through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund Arizona State University to assess the impact of different biomedical research funder strategies on innovation. Over an 18-month period ending in February 2024, ASU will build an extensive scientist-level database merging individual researcher data with sponsored research proposals, awards, and scientific outcomes including publications and technology transfer...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Social and Economic Science, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $292,095 to Arizona State University from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023. The grant funds collaborative research on explaining differential success in biodiversity knowledge commons. The Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program supports basic research and education to contribute to scientific...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $291,713 Project Grant under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) to conduct a dendrochronology (tree-ring dating) study. This two-year project aims to establish a new high-resolution chronology for the archaeological record in a region that experienced cultural adaptation and transitions between the 8th and 12th centuries AD due to climate...
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, recovery and analysis of material culture, microbotanical remains, and stable isotope data, all of which will be integrated and interpreted using existing ecological knowledge. The study also incorporates training opportunities for K-12 students and higher education students in areas such as 3D artifact modeling, immersive site visualizations, and virtual tours. Additionally, the project will advance NSF's investments in understanding human adoption of biotechnology innovations through its implementation of biotechnology methods in the analysis of stable isotopes and phytolith composition. This award runs from August 15, 2025 to July 31, 2027 and involves planned subawards.
