Much is understood about how empires grow, but far less is known about how and why the effects of their growth persist among local populations from one regime to the next. Understanding the long-term economic, ecological, and health impacts of imperial expansions requires concerted attention to moments of transition between regimes, when both imperial powers and local populations adopt, reject, and/or reorganize existing infrastructure and resources. A team of researchers are employing strategies from archaeology, osteology, and biogeochemistry study how transitions between imperial regimes shape long-term trajectories in household economies, diet, and health and how they continue to have substantial legacy effects on the global distribution of wealth, political power, and health outcomes. The project provides critical training opportunities for students and enhances international understanding of an emerging heritage destination that provides substantial economic opportunities to local communities. The project focuses on these transitions across two empires. The situation offers an excellent context for studying these processes because the empires had variable effects on local communities. By comparing indicators of household economic activity, diet, and health at sites, the project employs multidisciplinary perspectives to examine how changes in the organization of resources, infrastructure, and populations under one empire shaped pathways of development under the next and how Indigenous strategies of resilience responded to these successive challenges. The research contributes to a new theoretical framework for studying imperial transitions.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.

关于帝国如何成长的理解是很多人，但是对从一个政权到下一个政权的当地人口的如何以及为什么其增长的影响持续存在的知之甚少。了解帝国扩张的长期经济，生态和健康影响需要一致关注政权之间的过渡时刻，当时帝国大国和当地人口都采用，拒绝和/或重组现有的基础设施和资源。一组研究人员正在采用考古学，骨科学和生物地球化学的战略研究，研究帝国政权之间的过渡如何塑造家庭经济，饮食和健康中的长期轨迹，以及他们如何继续对财富，政治权力和健康成果的全球分配产生重大遗产。该项目为学生提供了关键的培训机会，并增强了对新兴遗产目的地的国际理解，为当地社区提供了大量的经济机会。该项目着重于两个帝国的这些过渡。这种情况为研究这些过程提供了良好的背景，因为帝国对当地社区产生了可变的影响。通过比较现场的家庭经济活动，饮食和健康的指标，该项目采用了多学科观点来研究在一个帝国在下一个帝国形成的发展途径下的资源，基础设施和人口组织的变化，以及如何在下一个帝国的发展途径以及如何应对这些连续的挑战的土著策略。 该研究为研究帝国过渡的新理论框架做出了贡献。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准通过评估来支持的。
