REU Site: The Lower Cacaulapa Valley Project, NW Honduras: A Program for Undergraduate Research in Archaeology and Cultural Anthropology

该奖项为洪都拉斯西北部下Cacaulapa项目的考古学和文化人类学REU遗址提供资金。八名本科生将进行独立的实地研究。参与者将参加研讨会的共同核心，向他们介绍考古和人种学方法和理论，并使他们对他们将生活和工作的政治，文化和经济背景保持敏感。学生调查将包括现代和古代文化过程和行为模式的探索。本课程的研究是建立在董事的合作和教学领域内的设置在过去的本科生相当丰富的经验，特别是在NSF REU网站项目，他们在纳科山谷，洪都拉斯在1988年，1990年，1992年，1995年和1996年指导，2000年至2002年期间，该奖项有助于基金会继续努力，通过积极的本科生研究经验，吸引有才华的学生从事科学事业。

This award provides funds for an REU Site in archaeology and cultural anthropology at the Lower Cacaulapa Project in NW Honduras. Eight undergraduate students will conduct independent field research. 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 will 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 and 2002.This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences.
