This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This project is to renovate an anthropology research complex in the Godfrey Anthropology Building on the campus of Beloit College. The research laboratories that will be modernized include an archaeology workspace/laboratory, an analytical wet laboratory, and a museum laboratory which is adjacent to the College's Logan Museum of Anthropology. The renovation includes optimization of the laboratory floor space, installation of climate control to bring temperatures and relative humidity to an acceptable range for anthropological research, storage cabinets for reference and research collections, electrical and lighting upgrades to improve visibility and safety, and installation of research work stations.The renovated research laboratories will be used for active research projects on faunal and human-osteological remains, archaeobotanical material, Paleolithic collections, and ethnographic materials. Improved access to research and reference collections by faculty, students, and visiting scholars, adequate work spaces for collaborative and concurrent projects, and dependable environmental control and security will enhance the research in these areas. Example of research studies that will be enabled include the role of exchange in the integration of Midwestern Middle Woodland communities, ca. 100 BC - AD 200, the analysis of macrobotanical remains from early agricultural communities in the Prairie Peninsula, the analysis of archaeological remains from areas around burial mounds in the local region, and the settlement patterns of Woodland inhabitants.The renovations will greatly enhance Beloit College's capacity to train future anthropology doctoral candidates. As the baccalaureate origin of more anthropology Ph.D. graduates than any other independent, four year liberal arts college, Beloit College's students pursue a range of original anthropology research projects that strengthen their ability to design a research project, interpret data, and present research results. The renovated anthropology laboratory complex will transform student engagement by facilitating difference modes of research training including one-on-one student-faculty mentoring, small group collaborations, and independent research. The renovated facility will also enable a range of collaborative research projects with visiting scholars working with the Logan Museum of Anthropology.

该奖项由 2009 年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法 111-5）资助。该项目旨在翻修伯洛伊特学院校园内戈弗雷人类学大楼的人类学研究综合体。 将进行现代化改造的研究实验室包括考古工作区/实验室、分析湿实验室和毗邻学院洛根人类学博物馆的博物馆实验室。 改造包括优化实验室占地面积、安装气候控制装置，使温度和相对湿度达到人类学研究可接受的范围、用于参考和研究收藏的储藏柜、升级电气和照明以提高能见度和安全性，以及安装研究工作站。翻新后的研究实验室将用于动物和人类骨学遗骸、考古植物材料、旧石器收藏等方面的活跃研究项目， 和民族志材料。 改善教师、学生和访问学者对研究和参考文献的获取、为协作和并行项目提供足够的工作空间以及可靠的环境控制和安全将加强这些领域的研究。 将启用的研究示例包括交换在中西部中部林地社区一体化中的作用，大约。公元前100年至公元200年，对草原半岛早期农业社区的大型植物遗存进行分析，对当地墓葬周围地区的考古遗存进行分析，以及林地居民的聚落模式。此次翻修将大大增强伯洛伊特学院培养未来人类学博士生的能力。 作为学士学位出身的更多人类学博士。伯洛伊特学院的毕业生比任何其他独立的四年制文理学院都多，其学生从事一系列原创人类学研究项目，以增强他们设计研究项目、解释数据和展示研究结果的能力。 经过翻新的人类学实验室综合体将通过促进不同的研究培训模式（包括一对一的师生指导、小组合作和独立研究）来改变学生的参与度。 翻新后的设施还将与洛根人类学博物馆的访问学者一起开展一系列合作研究项目。
