Paragraph 1This award supports a workshop to examine the potential for supporting research on submerged human habitation sites on the continental shelf of the U.S. The workshop brings together approximately twenty-five individuals with relevant and specialized expertise on this topic of research and will be held at the Smithsonian Institution, in conjunction with the Society for American Archaeology meeting Spring 2018 in Washington, DC. An investigation of submerged human habitation sites has the potential to provide important insights into human evolution in North America, including topics of migration, colonization, response to sea level rise, and the origins of maritime adaptations. These topics are important not only for understanding the development of early social organization in North America but can also give us critical information about the societal impacts of sea level rise, which is a potential threat in coastal regions of the United States.Paragraph 2The interdisciplinary workshop will include senior and early career scholars from the social and physical sciences, federal resource managers, and other stakeholders. The workshop will identify and explore innovative methods and relationships necessary to address the archaeology and paleoecology of submerged coastal landscapes on the US continental shelves. Participants will identify extant and needed technological, fiscal, human, educational, and logistic resources, and explore synergistic interagency and interdisciplinary relationships needed to promote and support this type research. The product will be a synoptic report and proposed action plan for distribution to stakeholders.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

第1段本奖项支持研讨会，以研究支持对美国大陆架水下人类居住地进行研究的潜力研讨会汇集了大约25名具有相关和专业知识的个人，并将在史密森学会举行，与美国考古学会2018年春季会议在华盛顿举行。 对淹没的人类居住地的调查有可能为北美人类进化提供重要的见解，包括移民，殖民化，对海平面上升的反应以及海洋适应的起源等主题。 这些主题不仅对了解北美早期社会组织的发展很重要，而且还可以为我们提供有关海平面上升的社会影响的重要信息，海平面上升是美国沿海地区的潜在威胁。第2段跨学科研讨会将包括来自社会和物理科学的高级和早期职业学者，联邦资源管理人员和其他利益相关者。该研讨会将确定和探索创新的方法和必要的关系，以解决美国大陆架水下海岸景观的考古学和古生态学。与会者将确定现存的和所需的技术，财政，人力，教育和后勤资源，并探讨促进和支持这种类型的研究所需的协同机构间和跨学科的关系。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
