REU: The Lower Cacaulapa Valley Project: NW Honduras: A Program for Undergraduate Research in Archaeology and Cultural Anthropology

该奖项通过凯尼恩学院为洪都拉斯西北部下卡考拉帕项目的考古学和文化人类学REU网站提供资金。 八名学生将进行独立的实地调查，并得到现场课堂教学和生活和工作情况的支持。 参与者将参加研讨会的共同核心，向他们介绍考古和人种学方法和理论，并使他们对他们生活和工作的政治，文化和经济背景保持敏感。 学生调查将包括现代和古代文化过程和行为模式的探索。 本课程的研究是建立在董事的合作和教学领域内的设置在过去的本科生相当丰富的经验，特别是在NSF REU网站项目，他们在纳科山谷，洪都拉斯在1988年，1990年，1992年，1995年和1996年指导，2000年在卡考拉帕河谷下游获得该奖项。该奖项有助于基金会通过积极的本科研究经验不断努力吸引有才华的学生进入科学职业。

This award provides funds, through Kenyon College, for an REU Site in archaeology and cultural anthropology at the Lower Cacaulapa Project in NW Honduras. Eight students will conduct independent field investigations supported by in-field class instruction and a living and working situation. Participants will take a common core of seminars that introduce them to archaeological and ethnographic methods and theory and sensitize them to the political, cultural, and economic context in which they live and work. Student investigations will include explorations of modern and ancient cultural processes and behavioral patterns. This course of study is founded on the directors' considerable experience in collaborating with and teaching undergraduates within field settings in the past, most particularly on NSF REU Site projects that they directed in the Naco vally, Honduras in 1988, 1990, 1992, 1995, and 1996, and in the lower Cacaulapa valley during 2000.This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences.
