This award provides funds for renewed support of an REU Site in archaeology conducted by CUNY City College along with Columbia University and the New York Historical Society. The project consists of the archaeological study of Seneca Village, a 19th-century African-American and Irish immigrant community located in Central Park in New York City. The project is made up of four parts. The first includes working with a geophysicist and remote sensing equipment to ascertain whether or not archaeological remains of the village survive intact in the ground. The second part involves historical research aimed at identifying the various buildings that made up the village and the various people who lived and worked in them as well as the locations and extent of the Village's three cemeteries. The third part involves integrating both the historical and geophysical data into a GIS format. Finally, each student will create a research design for planning archaeological excavations to address a research question related to this 19th-century multi-cultural community. The project will involve eight undergraduate students per year who will focus on different portions of the village and different historical records for the eight week program. Students will be selected from the colleges that belong to the New York City Archaeological Consortium, i.e., the colleges and community colleges of the City University, and the colleges of Columbia and New York Universities. This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences.

该奖项为Cuny City College与哥伦比亚大学和纽约历史学会一起进行的考古学的REU网站的新支持提供了资金。该项目由塞内卡村（Seneca Village）的考古研究组成，塞内卡村（Seneca Village）是位于纽约市中央公园的19世纪非裔美国人和爱尔兰移民社区。该项目由四个部分组成。第一个包括与地球物理学家和遥感设备一起确定该村庄的考古遗迹是否在地面上幸存下来。第二部分涉及历史研究，旨在确定构成村庄的各种建筑物以及在其中生活和工作的各个人以及村庄三个墓地的地点和范围。第三部分涉及将历史和地球物理数据同时整合到GIS格式中。最后，每个学生将创建一个研究设计设计，以计划考古发掘，以解决与这个19世纪多元文化社区有关的研究问题。该项目将涉及每年八名本科生，他们将专注于村庄的不同部分以及八周计划的不同历史记录。学生将从属于纽约市考古联盟的学院中选出，即城市大学的学院和哥伦比亚大学和纽约大学。该奖项有助于基金会通过积极的本科研究经验来吸引才华横溢的学生从事科学职业的努力。
