THE ROLE OF DIET IN THE PROCESS OF LONG TERM CULTURAL INTEGRATION. -THIS RESEARCH EXAMINES THE PROCESSES THAT PRODUCED STABLE, INTEGRATED COMMUNITIES OF MIGRANTS AND LOCAL GROUPS IN THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY, BY ASSESSING CHANGES OVER SEVERAL GENERATIONS IN HOW PEOPLE USED ANIMALS AND PLANTS FOR FOOD, RAW MATERIALS, AND RELIGIOUS PURPOSES. THE PROJECT CONTRIBUTES TO AN INCREASED UNDERSTANDING OF MIGRATION AND SOCIAL INTEGRATION OF GROUPS FROM DIVERSE CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS DURING A TIME OF UPHEAVAL. THIS WORK PROVIDES INSIGHTS INTO HOW PEOPLE IN THE PAST FORMED MULTICULTURAL COMMUNITIES THAT LASTED MORE THAN A CENTURY. SOME OF THE FORCES THAT DIVIDE AMERICANS OF DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS TODAY WERE ALSO CHALLENGES TO BUILDING SUSTAINABLE DIVERSE COMMUNITIES IN THE PAST. PROJECT RESULTS HAVER VALUE TO ARCHAEOLOGISTS AND TO OTHER SOCIAL SCIENTISTS INTERESTED IN HOW MULTI-CULTURAL COMMUNITIES FORM AND MAINTAIN LONG-TERM STABILITY. TEAM MEMBERS INCLUDE PROFESSIONAL ARCHAEOLOGISTS, AMERICAN INDIAN TRIBAL MEMBER ADVISORS, AND UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANTS WHO OBTAIN EDUCATIONAL AND RESEARCH EXPERIENCE WHILE WORKING AS PART OF THE PROJECT TEAM. DATA IS ARCHIVED AND PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ONLINE VIA THE CYBERSW PLATFORM, WHICH DISPLAYS AND ANALYZES DATA FROM THOUSANDS OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES ACROSS THE US IN A FORMAT ACCESSIBLE TO PROFESSIONAL AND PUBLIC AUDIENCES. THE PROJECT COMPARES PLANT AND ANIMAL DATASETS OBTAINED FROM DECADES OF ACADEMIC AND CULTURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PROJECTS FROM THE 1000?1450 CE TIME PERIOD. DATA CHARACTERIZE THE PERIODS BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER MIGRANT INFLUX. PLANT AND ANIMAL DATA ILLUMINATE HOW SOME ASPECTS OF LOCAL PLANT AND ANIMAL USE SHIFTED AFTER MIGRANT ARRIVAL AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW IDEOLOGY. FIRST, PLANT AND ANIMAL DATA ARE USED TO IDENTIFY CULTURALLY DISTINCTIVE SIGNATURES FOR EACH ORIGINAL GROUP. THEN, FOR NEW RESULTANT COMMUNITIES, RESEARCHERS IDENTIFY WHICH DISTINCTIVE PRACTICES WERE LINKED TO EXPRESSING VARIED HERITAGE. WHICH PRACTICES WERE SIGNALS OF THE NEW IDENTITY AND GROUP MEMBERSHIP; AND IN WHAT CONTEXTS WERE DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS WERE USED. UNDERSTANDING HOW, WHERE, AND WHEN THESE MULTIPLE TYPES OF PRACTICES WERE EXPRESSED PROVIDES INSIGHTS INTO THE PROCESSES BEHIND THE FORMATION OF STABLE MULTICULTURAL COMMUNITIES. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: HNDS-R: HUMAN NETWORKS, SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, AND LIVED EXPERIENCE IN A NONINDUSTRIAL SOCIETY -THIS PROJECT INVESTIGATES HOW PATTERNS OF CONNECTION BETWEEN PEOPLE AFFECT THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE OVER THE LONG TERM. THE GOAL IS TO MAP OUT PATTERNS OF INTERACTION BETWEEN PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND ASSESS HOW THESE PATTERNS IMPACTED THE DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR COMMUNITIES IN A CHANGING ENVIRONMENT. LEARNING ABOUT THESE PATTERNS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH ARCHAEOLOGICAL DATA, WHICH SHOW HOW ANCIENT PEOPLE WORKED TOGETHER TO MEET BASIC HUMAN NEEDS. UNDERSTANDING HOW SOCIAL NETWORKS GREW AND CHANGED IN THE PAST CAN LEAD TO A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW PEOPLE TODAY CAN WORK TOGETHER FOR INCREASED PROSPERITY, INCLUSIVENESS, ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY, AND PEACE. THIS PROJECT BRINGS TOGETHER A TEAM OF RESEARCHERS FROM MULTIPLE UNIVERSITIES, NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, AND TRIBAL COMMUNITIES. THESE SCIENTISTS USE ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE TO INVESTIGATE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN SPATIAL PATTERNS OF SOCIAL INTERACTION AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE OVER 800 YEARS IN THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES. THEY COMBINE DEMOGRAPHIC, SOCIOECONOMIC, HEALTH, AND ENVIRONMENTAL RECONSTRUCTIONS OF THE PAST BUILT USING DATA FROM PREVIOUS NSF-FUNDED PROJECTS INTO A SINGLE RESEARCH PLATFORM. THEY ALSO USE THIS PLATFORM, TOGETHER WITH IDEAS FROM COMPLEX SYSTEMS AND NETWORK ANALYSIS, TO EXAMINE HOW SPATIAL PROPERTIES OF HUMAN NETWORKS INFLUENCED OTHER ASPECTS OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT, USING ARCHAEOLOGICAL INDICATORS OF THE UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS AS THE BASIS FOR ASSESSMENT. THE RESULTS WILL ADVANCE UNDERSTANDINGS OF HOW SOCIO-SPATIAL NETWORKS INFLUENCE SUSTAINABILITY AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.

OF THE MORE THAN 900 UNITS, JUST THE MOJAVE TRAILS NATIONAL MONUMENT AND NEZ PERCE AND TRAIL OF TEARS NATIONAL HISTORIC TRAILS (NHTS) PLACE SPECIFIC ATTENTION ON THIS IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THE NATIONS HISTORY. TO HELP REMEDY THIS, OUR PROJECT BUILDS UPON PAST TRAILS RESEARCH IN THE SONORAN DESERT NATIONAL MONUMENT (SDNM) IN SOUTHERN ARIZONA. THE REGIONS INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES LONG AGO BUILT A SERIES OF TRAILS THROUGH THIS REGION AS SHORT-CUTS ACROSS THE GREAT BEND OF THE GILA RIVER. THESE TRAILS MATERIALLY AND METAPHORICALLY CONNECT THE HOMELANDS OF THE OODHAM AND PIIPAASH, TWO TRIBES REPRESENTED TODAY BY THE GILA RIVER AND SALT RIVER PIMA-MARICOPA INDIAN COMMUNITIES. THE EARLIEST EURO-AMERICAN EXPEDITIONS FOLLOWED THESE TRAILS AS THEY EXPLORED THE WESTERN AND MOST REMOTE REACHES OF NORTH AMERICA. IN PARTICULAR, OUR MOST RECENT FIELD RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THE SEGMENTS OF THE JUAN BAUTISTA DE ANZA AND BUTTERFIELD OVERLAND NHTS PASSING THROUGH THE SDNM ARE PREDICATED ON EXTANT INDIGENOUS TRAILS. THESE HISTORICAL FACTS, HOWEVER, ARE JUST NOW BEING ADDRESSED, MADE POSSIBLE BY THE REMARKABLE SUCCESS OF OUR ONGOING WORK IN AND AROUND THE SDNM. OUR PROJECT WILL CONTINUE INVENTORYING INDIGENOUS TRAILS AND ASSOCIATED CULTURAL RESOURCES IN THE SDNM. IT WILL MOVE THAT EFFORT FORWARD WITH A SURVEY AND INVENTORY OF THE REMAINING 50.9 MILES OF THE CONGRESSIONALLY DESIGNATED ALIGNMENT OF THE BUTTERFIELD OVERLAND NHT ON BLM LAND IN ARIZONA. THE PURPOSE IS TWO-FOLD. THE PROJECT WILL PROVIDE BLM WITH A COMPREHENSIVE INVENTORY AND ASSESSMENT OF THIS NEW NHT IN ORDER TO AID IN MANAGEMENT PLANNING. AND THE SURVEY WILL EVALUATE WHETHER THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE HISTORIC ROAD AND INDIGENOUS TRAILS THAT WAS CONFIRMED IN THE SDNM EXISTS ON OTHER PARCELS OF BLM LAND IN ARIZONA. TO DO SO, THE PROJECT CALLS FOR 14 SESSIONS OF FIELDWORK, WITH 7 DEVOTED TO CONTINUING AND COMPLETING EFFORTS IN THE SDNM AND THE OTHER 7 FOR SURVEYING THE REMAINDER OF THE BUTTERFIELD OVERLAND NHT. THE PLANNED SURVEY AND INVENTORY OF BOTH THE INDIGENOUS TRAILS AND THE BUTTERFIELD OVERLAND NHT WILL MEET FIELDWORK AND REPORTING STANDARDS ESTABLISHED BY THE BLM AND THE ARIZONA STATE MUSEUM. OUTCOMES WILL INCLUDE A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF THE BUTTERFIELD OVERLAND NHT ON BLM LANDS IN ARIZONA AND A COMPLETED INVENTORY OF ASSOCIATED INDIGENOUS TRAILS AND RELATED PROPERTIES IN THE SDNM. PROJECT DELIVERABLES WILL INCLUDE A TECHNICAL REPORT ON THE FINDINGS AND ANCILLARY DATA, INCLUDING HIGH PRECISION SHAPEFILES, PHOTOGRAPHS, AND CULTURAL RESOURCE RECORDS, ALL OF WHICH WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE RELEVANT BLM FIELD OFFICES. ALL WORK WILL BE CARRIED OUT BY ARCHAEOLOGY SOUTHWEST AND VOLUNTEER CITIZEN-SCIENTISTS, AND NO SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES ARE PLANNED OR ANTICIPATED. BENEFICIARIES FROM THIS PROJECT WILL BE THE BLM, TRIBES, AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
