Much is understood about how empires grow, but far less is known about how and why the effects of their growth persist among local populations from one regime to the next. Understanding the long-term economic, ecological, and health impacts of imperial expansions requires concerted attention to moments of transition between regimes, when both imperial powers and local populations adopt, reject, and/or reorganize existing infrastructure and resources. A team of researchers are employing strategies from archaeology, osteology, and biogeochemistry study how transitions between imperial regimes shape long-term trajectories in household economies, diet, and health and how they continue to have substantial legacy effects on the global distribution of wealth, political power, and health outcomes. The project provides critical training opportunities for students and enhances international understanding of an emerging heritage destination that provides substantial economic opportunities to local communities. The project focuses on these transitions across two empires. The situation offers an excellent context for studying these processes because the empires had variable effects on local communities. By comparing indicators of household economic activity, diet, and health at sites, the project employs multidisciplinary perspectives to examine how changes in the organization of resources, infrastructure, and populations under one empire shaped pathways of development under the next and how Indigenous strategies of resilience responded to these successive challenges. The research contributes to a new theoretical framework for studying imperial transitions.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.

人们对帝国是如何发展的了解很多，但对于它们的发展如何以及为什么会在一个政权和另一个政权之间的地方民众中持续存在，我们了解的要少得多。要了解帝国扩张对经济、生态和健康的长期影响，需要协调一致地关注政权之间的过渡时刻，即帝国列强和当地民众采用、拒绝和/或重组现有基础设施和资源的时刻。一组研究人员正在使用考古学、骨学和生物地球化学的策略，研究帝国政权之间的过渡如何塑造家庭经济、饮食和健康的长期轨迹，以及它们如何继续对财富、政治权力和健康结果的全球分配产生重大遗留影响。该项目为学生提供了重要的培训机会，并增进了国际社会对新兴遗产目的地的了解，该目的地为当地社区提供了大量的经济机会。该项目关注的是两个帝国之间的这些过渡。这种情况为研究这些进程提供了一个很好的背景，因为帝国对当地社区产生了不同的影响。通过比较各个地点的家庭经济活动、饮食和健康指标，该项目采用多学科视角，研究一个帝国下的资源、基础设施和人口组织的变化如何塑造下一个帝国的发展道路，以及土著复原力战略如何应对这些连续的挑战。这项研究为研究帝国过渡提供了一个新的理论框架。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
