This project explores the impact of immigration of politically stratified groups on local non-stratified communities during the precolonial period and focuses on the processes under which these interactions occurred. Migrations have occurred throughout human history and were as important in the past as they are today, particularly with concerns such as cultural identity, interactions between groups of people, land, and security. Along with the movement of people come not just practices and ideas, but physical bodies and objects that occupy area and space differently. The results of such massive social and cultural changes occur throughout time and space all over the world, with archaeological interest particularly focused on changes in political institutions and subsistence patterns. However, these archaeological studies in the past have often assumed that changes occur ubiquitously and unilaterally. This assumption minimizes the autonomy and agency of the local populations who are acting, interacting, and reacting to these changes and to the immigrant populations. This study examines one such shift that highlights and provides a case-study for these large-scale changes which in this case was characterized by an increase in population, sedentism, agriculture, trade networks, shared iconography and ideologies, intensified political stratification, intensified monumental construction, and the emergence and peak of chiefdoms and chiefly centers. This case relates to the impact of immigration on these local non-stratified communities and how they adapted with the arrival of the earliest agricultural peoples. The researchers focus on two archaeological sites in the same region .By focusing on evidence for local and regional-scale transformations, this project provides unique insights into the social and political processes and practices that defined the spread of the agricultural lifeway. The researchers evaluate several interrelated domains of archaeological data including subsistence, crafting, site organization, and regional organization from these sites before, during, and after evidence of agriculture appears. One goal is to determine whether local people welcomed this new practice or actively resisted doing so. By integrating data from archaeological excavations, radiocarbon dating, botanical analyses, and museum collections this project permits the researchers to evaluate different possible models. By producing a more complete record of social and cultural practices the project informs the broader study of processes involved and variation in changes to complex socio-political phenomena such as practices of agricultural intensification and social inequality.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.

该项目探讨了政治分层群体在殖民时期的移民对地方非分层社区的影响，并着重于这些相互作用的过程。移民在整个人类历史上都发生了，过去与今天一样重要，尤其是在文化认同，人民，土地和安全群体之间的互动等问题上。随着人们的流动，不仅出现了实践和思想，而且还出现了不同的身体和物体和空间不同的物体和物体。这种大规模的社会和文化变化的结果发生在世界范围内的整个时间和空间，考古兴趣尤其集中在政治机构和生存模式的变化上。但是，过去这些考古研究经常假设变化无处不在，单方面发生。这种假设最大程度地减少了当地人群的自主权和代理，这些人群对这些变化以及对移民人口的行动，互动和反应。这项研究研究了一种转变，突出显示并为这些大规模变化提供了一个案例研究，在这种情况下，这种变化的特征是人口，久坐，农业，贸易网络，共享肖像学和意识形态的增加，政治分层的加剧，强化的纪念性建筑以及酋长的出现和首席界和主要中心。该案件涉及移民对这些当地非分层社区的影响，以及它们如何随着最早的农业人民的到来而适应。研究人员专注于同一地区的两个考古遗址。通过关注地方和区域规模转型的证据，该项目为社会和政治过程和实践提供了独特的见解，从而定义了农业生命之道的传播。研究人员评估了几个相互关联的考古数据领域，包括在农业证据之前，之中和之后，从这些地点进行了生存，制造，现场组织和区域组织。一个目标是确定当地人是欢迎这种新做法还是积极抗拒这样做。通过整合来自考古发掘，放射性碳测年，植物分析和博物馆收集的数据，该项目可以评估不同的模型。通过产生更完整的社会和文化实践记录，该项目可以为涉及过程的更广泛研究以及对复杂社会政治现象的变化的变化，例如农业强化和社会不平等实践的变化。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并认为通过基金会的知识优点和广泛的cribia crietia cribitia criperia criperia criperia criperia criperia criperia criperia criperia criperia cripia cripia cristia rectiria recteria均值得一提。
