0701243GoldsteinThe International Research Fellowship Program enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct nine to twenty-four months of research abroad. The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad.This award will support a twenty-four-month research fellowship by Dr. David J. Goldstein to work with Dr. Luis Ramon Huaman at University Cayetano Heredia in Lima, Peru.While most archaeological projects in the region incorporate methodologies to recover these materials, few paleoethnobotanical specialists participate in the majority of Andean archaeological research, leaving the majority of these materials unanalyzed. The host and PI are establishing a training program. This program teaches how to interpret the plant remains recovered from archaeological sites. Additionally, the PI is learning from the host's microbotanical laboratory at UPCH how to combine his macrobotanical expertise with pollen and phytolith datasets in archaeological research. Together with the students' field research, they are constructing a program of international and interdisciplinary cooperation in Andean archeological research. Most importantly, they are establishing a curriculum for further instruction and training personnel to can design and carry out their own paleoethnobotanical research programs using the extraordinary ancient plant remains available in the Andes. This two year project is designed to also train and leave in place training facilities for ancient plant remains research in the Andes. Ancient plant remains, e.g., seeds, fruits, and wood, are the best evidence available for understanding human activities and ecological response across the human career. Paleoethnobotanists are archaeologists that use plant remains to interpret the agricultural systems, trade relationships, craft production, and food preferences of ancient societies around the world. The Andean region of South America, and Peru in particular, is home to some of the oldest remains of human civilization associated with the best-preserved plant remains in the world. To date no long-term training or established curriculum is available in the region to deal with these datasets.

0701243Goldsteinth The International Research奖学金计划使美国的科学家和工程师能够在国外进行九至二十四个月的研究。该计划的奖项为联合研究提供了机会，并使用独特或补充的设施，专业知识和在国外的实验条件。该奖项将支持David J. Goldstein博士与Luis Ramon Huaman博士在Lima的Cayetano Heredia博士的二十四个月研究奖学金中与Lima的Cayetano Heredia博士合作，该地区的大多数古老的材料都将其综合为这些地区，这些材料是富有的。参加大多数安第斯考古研究，使大多数这些材料都没有分析。主持人和PI正在建立培训计划。该计划教导如何解释该植物从考古遗址回收。此外，PI正在UPCH的宿主的微型机构实验室中学习如何在考古研究中将其大型植物专业知识与花粉和植物学数据集相结合。他们与学生的现场研究一起，在安第斯考古研究中构建了国际和跨学科合作的计划。最重要的是，他们正在建立一个课程，以进一步的教学和培训人员可以使用非凡的古代植物来设计和执行自己的古ethnobotanical研究计划。这个为期两年的项目还旨在训练和离开安第斯山脉的古代植物培训设施。古老的植物遗骸，例如种子，水果和木材，是理解人类职业人类活动和生态反应的最佳证据。古埃及植物学家是使用植物的考古学家来解释世界各地古代社会的农业系统，贸易关系，工艺生产和食品偏好。南美安第斯山脉地区，尤其是秘鲁地区，是与保存最完好的植物相关的人类文明中最古老的遗迹。迄今为止，该地区尚无长期培训或已建立的课程来处理这些数据集。
