This Social and Behavioral Sciences Minority Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship will fund a two-year independent research project with the goal of furthering the academic career of an underrepresented group in science. The proposed research has two primary components: examining changing cooking technologies, and exploring the potential of a collaborative Indigenous archaeology methodology. It involves comparative case studies in Turkey and North America with fieldwork in two locations: Catalhoyuk, Turkey and the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Reservation of Michigan. In each case, the aim is to better understand the production, use-life, and social significance of cooking paraphernalia and the changing practices associated with them through time. Significant cultural changes occurred during the time periods of examination in each location, and the study focuses on how these transformations are reflected and/or driven by changing foodways. The proposed research in Turkey expands on previous analyses of clay cooking balls from Catalhoyuk to include comparative examination of ovens and hearths from 6 Neolithic sites in the same region. The resulting analysis will provide a rigorous yet rich, contextualized examination of changing cooking practices of hunter-gatherer and early farming communities in Anatolia. The proposed research in Michigan will be the first stage of a new, long-term fully collaborative endeavor with the Saginaw Chippewa Indian community. The Fellow will assemble a community team, and work with them to develop an archaeological research design that aims to examine pre- and post-contact cooking techniques in Michigan from 1000 BC to the present. In both Turkey and Michigan, projects include an Indigenous archaeology component to examine collaborative methodologies through case studies in both regions that will be carried out in conjunction with the cooking research outlined above. The aim is to put theoretical models of archaeological collaboration into practice, and to measure their effectiveness in producing knowledge that is useful to stakeholders and the archaeological community. In Turkey this involves collaborating with Turkish community members, teachers, and other stakeholders to develop a long-term community-led heritage plan, with the aim of making the Catalhoyuk research accessible and useful to them. In Michigan, the aim is to blend Western and Indigenous epistemologies to develop a detailed plan for future archaeological research that satisfies both Indigenous collaborators and the archaeological science community. The results will provide comparative data for using an Indigenous collaborative methodology, within and outside of an Indigenous land-base.With this postdoctoral opportunity the Fellow will produce data that forms the basis of numerous journal articles and two books. Completing these projects is critical for the development of the Fellow's long-term research plans, and will significantly advance my career goals. Dr. Hodder and the scholarly community at Stanford are integral to the Fellow's research in areas of heritage management, multi-locality, and post-colonial and decolonizing theory, and are critical resources for the proposed research.

这一社会科学和行为科学少数民族博士后研究奖学金将资助一个为期两年的独立研究项目，目的是促进科学界代表性不足群体的学术生涯。拟议的研究有两个主要部分：检查不断变化的烹饪技术，以及探索合作的土著考古方法的潜力。它涉及土耳其和北美的比较案例研究，并在两个地点进行实地考察：土耳其的卡塔罗霍尤克和密歇根州的萨吉诺·奇佩瓦印第安人保留地。在每一种情况下，目的都是为了更好地了解烹饪用具的生产、使用寿命和社会意义，以及与之相关的随时间变化的做法。在每个地点的检查期间，都发生了重大的文化变化，研究的重点是这些变化是如何反映和/或由改变的饮食方式驱动的。土耳其的拟议研究扩展了先前对卡塔罗育粘土烹饪球的分析，包括对同一地区6个新石器时代遗址的烤箱和壁炉的比较研究。由此产生的分析将提供对安纳托利亚狩猎采集和早期农业社区不断变化的烹饪做法的严格而丰富的背景考察。密歇根州的这项拟议研究将是与萨吉诺·奇佩瓦印第安人社区进行的新的、长期的全面合作努力的第一阶段。这位研究员将组建一个社区团队，与他们合作开发一项考古研究设计，旨在研究从公元前1000年到现在的密歇根州接触前和接触后的烹饪技术。在土耳其和密歇根州，项目包括土著考古学部分，通过在这两个地区进行案例研究来审查协作方法，这些研究将与上文概述的烹饪研究一起进行。其目的是将考古协作的理论模型付诸实践，并衡量它们在产生对利益攸关方和考古界有用的知识方面的有效性。在土耳其，这涉及到与土耳其社区成员、教师和其他利益攸关方合作，制定一项由社区主导的长期遗产计划，目的是使他们能够接触到卡塔罗约克的研究成果，并对其有用。在密歇根州，其目标是融合西方和土著认识论，为未来的考古研究制定一项详细的计划，使土著合作者和考古科学界都能满意。这些结果将为在土著土地内部和外部使用土著协作方法提供比较数据。有了这个博士后机会，该研究员将产生构成许多期刊文章和两本书的基础的数据。完成这些项目对这位研究员的长期研究计划的发展至关重要，并将显著推进我的职业目标。霍德博士和斯坦福大学的学术界是这位研究员在遗产管理、多地区、后殖民和去殖民主义理论领域研究的不可或缺的部分，也是拟议研究的关键资源。
