This award provides funds, through Kenyon College, for an REU Site in archaeology and cultural anthropology at the Lower Cacaulapa Project in NW Honduras. Eight students will conduct independent field investigations supported by in-field class instruction and a living and working situation. Participants will take a common core of seminars that introduce them to archaeological and ethnographic methods and theory and sensitize them to the political, cultural, and economic context in which they live and work. Student investigations will include explorations of modern and ancient cultural processes and behavioral patterns. This course of study is founded on the directors' considerable experience in collaborating with and teaching undergraduates within field settings in the past, most particularly on NSF REU Site projects that they directed in the Naco vally, Honduras in 1988, 1990, 1992, 1995, and 1996, and in the lower Cacaulapa valley during 2000.This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences.

该奖项通过凯尼恩学院为洪都拉斯西北部下卡考拉帕项目的 REU 考古学和文化人类学遗址提供资金。 八名学生将在现场课堂教学以及生活和工作环境的支持下进行独立的实地调查。 参与者将参加共同核心的研讨会，向他们介绍考古学和民族志的方法和理论，并使他们了解他们生活和工作的政治、文化和经济背景。 学生的调查将包括对现代和古代文化过程和行为模式的探索。 该课程的基础是董事们过去在实地环境中与本科生合作和教学的丰富经验，特别是他们于 1988 年、1990 年、1992 年、1995 年和 1996 年在洪都拉斯纳科山谷以及 2000 年在卡考拉帕下游山谷指导的 NSF REU Site 项目。该奖项有助于基金会不断努力吸引有才华的学生进入职业生涯通过积极的科学 本科生研究经历。
