This award addresses the archaeological issues surrounding the ancestral Pueblo people and their Neolithic revolution or disappearance from the Mesa Verde region of southwestern US. The research describes the people, their living conditions and the environment, their impact on the region and the reason for their exodus to form new societies such as the Tewa-Pueblo society. The research and its results are significant, from both an archaeological and socio-cultural standpoint. An exhibit is planned, to explain and inform the public, in the History Colorado Center in Denver, Colorado, that will transfer this cultural knowledge to the under-served public including Native American and numerous rural residents. The effort is a collaborative endeavor involving the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center in Cortez, Colorado and the new History Colorado Center.The exhibit will feature a typical living area, a scientific area with discussion of tree rings, and an area for discussion with scientific experts. In addition, the deliverable will include a website for further discussion with scientist and for accessing the latest research efforts.The evaluation of this project is extensive starting from an overall evaluation of the museum itself and how to make this exhibit a significant part of the museum, pleasing to the audiences and how to improve its impact once the exhibit is open.

该奖项解决了围绕祖先普韦布洛人及其新石器时代革命或从美国西南部梅萨维德地区消失的考古问题。该研究描述了人们，他们的生活条件和环境，他们对该地区的影响，以及他们离开的原因，形成了新的社会，如特瓦-普韦布洛社会。从考古学和社会文化的角度来看，这项研究及其结果都很重要。计划在科罗拉多州丹佛市的历史科罗拉多中心举办一个展览，向公众解释和告知，这将把这种文化知识传递给服务不足的公众，包括美洲原住民和众多农村居民。这项工作是由科罗拉多州科尔特斯的克劳峡谷考古中心和新的科罗拉多州历史中心共同努力的结果。展览将以典型的生活区、讨论树木年轮的科学区、与科学专家讨论的区域为特色。此外，可交付成果将包括一个网站，供与科学家进一步讨论和访问最新的研究成果。这个项目的评估是广泛的，从博物馆本身的整体评估开始，如何使这个展览成为博物馆的重要组成部分，让观众满意，以及如何在展览开放后提高其影响力。
