With three years of support from the National Science Foundation, U.S. students and postdoctoral fellows will join an international research team led in the United States by Principal Investigator William Parkinson, from the Field Museum of Natural History, in Chicago, along with Richard Yerkes of Ohio State University. Their Hungarian and Greek counterparts are Attila Gyucha, of the Hungarian Field Service for Cultural Heritage, in Szeged, and Apostolos Sarris at the Institute for Mediterranean Studies on Crete. Together, these experts will serve as mentors and direct a study of prehistoric agricultural villages on the Great Hungarian Plain to test cross-cultrual anthropological models that emphasize different causal factors with the goal of explaining the origin of nucleated settlement systems.Annually the program, designed to provide international research experience for students (IRES), will send five U.S. participants abroad to join European counterparts at the site of the Körös Regional Archaeological Project in eastern Hungary where they will receive training in archaeological survey, excavation, data collection, and analysis. Each participant will pursue an independently designed research project in collaboration with mentors and with specialists at laboratories in Greece, Hungary, and the U.S., to analyze their results and interpret data they collect during field work at sites near Veszto, Hungary. In the process NSF-supported IRES students and postdoctoral fellows will develop peer-to-peer and mentor-to-student relationships with a highly regarded international team of researchers. Intellectual Merit: IRES participants will join an exciting research program to explore the emergence of social complexity and examine the establishment of the first large fortified villages in ancient Europe. Current models of prehistoric village development in this region emphasize changes in environment and hydrology, and shifts in animal husbandry, social organization, ritual, and warfare. Together, the team of senior and junior researchers will document the establishment and development of early agricultural societies in this region and contribute to the development models that help us understand the emergence of economic and political complexity elsewhere in the world. Our understanding of these prehistoric processes is critical for learning about the development of urbanization, territorialism, social stratification, and warfare.Broader Impacts: In addition to developing cross-cultural models for understanding the development of European societies, the IRES program will provide each of the fifteen junior U.S. scholars, including minorities and underrepresented groups, with a unique learning experience intended to provide them with professional training and contacts necessary to establish themselves. These activities are expected to lead not only to early career scientific presentations and publications, but also to lifelong exchanges, professional networking and U.S.-European collaborations. Overall, the outcome should enhance the visibility and global engagement of the next generation of U.S. scientists

在国家科学基金会三年的支持下，美国学生和博士后研究员将加入由来自芝加哥菲尔德自然历史博物馆的首席研究员威廉·帕金森以及俄亥俄州的理查德·耶克斯在美国领导的国际研究小组他们的匈牙利和希​​腊人才是塞格德匈牙利文化遗产现场服务处的 Attila Gyucha 和克里特岛地中海研究所的 Apostolos Sarris，这些专家将共同担任导师。并指导对匈牙利大平原的史前农业村庄进行研究，以测试强调不同因果因素的跨文化人类学模型，目的是解释有核聚落系统的起源。每年该计划旨在为学生提供国际研究经验（ IRES）将派遣五名美国参与者前往匈牙利东部的克罗斯地区考古项目现场与欧洲代表会合，在那里他们将接受考古调查、挖掘、数据收集和分析方面的培训。这是一个独立设计的研究项目，与希腊、匈牙利和美国实验室的导师和专家合作，分析他们的结果并解释他们在匈牙利韦斯托附​​近的实地工作中收集的数据。在此过程中，国家科学基金会支持的 IRES 学生。博士后研究员将与备受推崇的国际研究团队建立点对点和导师与学生的关系：IRES 参与者将参加一项令人兴奋的研究项目，探索社会复杂性的出现并研究其建立。该地区史前村庄发展的当前模型强调环境和水文的变化，以及畜牧业、社会组织、仪式和战争的变化，高级和初级研究人员团队将共同研究。记录该地区早期农业社会的建立和发展，并为发展模式做出贡献，帮助我们了解世界其他地方经济和政治复杂性的出现，我们对这些史前过程的理解对于了解城市化的发展至关重要，地域主义、社会分层更广泛的影响：除了开发跨文化模型来理解欧洲社会的发展之外，IRES 项目还将为 15 名美国青年学者中的每一位（包括少数族裔和代表性不足的群体）提供独特的学习体验，旨在为他们提供建立自我所需的专业培训和联系预计不仅会带来早期职业科学演讲和出版物，还会带来终身交流、专业网络和美欧合作。总体而言，其结果应提高知名度和全球性。下一代美国科学家的参与
