This award provides funds for an REU Site in Physical Anthropology hosted by the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Undergraduate students will develop original research projects in human osteology as a vehicle for fostering their growth as researchers, scientists and leaders. Each year for three years, 10 students will participate in all phases of the analysis and documentation of over 440 human skeletons from the Late Archaic period Barrett site. The students' research projects will be aimed at (1) developing new applications of scientific visualization toward the inventory, analysis and recordation of human skeletal material, and (2) contributing to our understanding of biocultural adaptation of these Late Archaic hunters and gatherers. Activities will include work in the laboratory, two courses each semester, professional and career development, and excursions to museums and archaeological sites. This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences.

该奖项为位于格林斯伯勒的北卡罗来纳州大学主办的身体人类学REU网站提供资金。 本科生将开发人类骨骼学的原创研究项目，作为促进他们成长为研究人员，科学家和领导者的工具。 每年三年，10名学生将参与分析和记录来自晚白垩世巴雷特遗址的440多具人类骨骼的所有阶段。 学生的研究项目将旨在（1）开发科学可视化对人类骨骼材料的库存，分析和记录的新应用，以及（2）有助于我们对这些晚期狩猎者和采集者的生物文化适应的理解。 活动将包括实验室工作，每学期两门课程，专业和职业发展，以及参观博物馆和考古遗址。 该奖项有助于基金会通过积极的本科研究经验，继续努力吸引有才华的学生进入科学职业。
