Social Change and the Environment in Nordic Prehistory: Evidence from Finland and Northern Canada (SCENOP)

这项研究项目，纽约州立大学布法罗分校的Pi Ezra Zubrow，是欧洲科学基金会EUROCORES计划(BOREAS)下设想的更大国际合作的美国部分。整个ESF项目是由来自4个国家的研究人员合作完成的，包括美国、加拿大和芬兰。这个特别的项目代表了美国国家科学基金会对BOREAS工作的贡献，通过为芬兰北部伊利地区和加拿大詹姆斯湾的Wemindji地区的考古和地理数据创建一个地理信息系统数据库，重点关注北欧史前社会变化的主题。通过收集和分析这两个地理上不同地区的考古和古环境数据，研究人员将阐明可持续适应气候变化的问题。

This research project, PI Ezra Zubrow, SUNY Buffalo, is the US portion of a larger international collaboration that was conceived under the European Science Foundation, EUROCORES Programme, BOREAS. The full ESF project is a collaboration of researchers from 4 countries, including the US, Canada, and Finland. This particular project, which represents the US NSF contribution to the BOREAS effort, focuses on the theme of social change in Nordic prehistory through the creation of a GIS database for archaeological and geographic data from the Yli-li area of Northern Finland and the Wemindji area of James Bay, Canada. By collecting and analyzing archaeological and paleoenvironmental data from these two geographically different regions, the investigators will shed light on issues of sustainable adaptive responses to climate change.
