Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Archaeological Research in Missouri
The Grants to Support Anthropologically Relevant Archaeological Research program, funded by the Foundation, aims to increase anthropologically focused understanding of the past through doctoral laboratory and field research. In Missouri, the priority outcomes for this grant program are closely tied to the state's rich cultural heritage and unique archaeological landscape. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources, specifically the State Historic Preservation Office, is a key partner in identifying and prioritizing research outcomes that align with the state's archaeological goals.
Advancing Understanding of Missouri's Cultural Heritage
Missouri's diverse geography, from the Ozark Mountains to the Mississippi River Valley, has created a complex and varied cultural heritage. Research projects that shed light on the lives of Native American communities, early European settlers, and African American populations are particularly relevant. For example, studies that explore the intersection of cultural and environmental factors in shaping human behavior in the region's frontier counties can provide valuable insights into the state's history. By supporting research that examines the archaeological record in Missouri, the grant program aims to contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the state's past and its significance in the broader context of American history.
Priority Research Areas in Missouri
Several research areas are considered high priority in Missouri, including the study of pre-Columbian earthworks, the archaeology of slavery and emancipation, and the cultural heritage of rural communities. The state's unique geographic features, such as the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, also make it an attractive location for research on topics like trade networks and cultural exchange. By focusing on these priority areas, researchers can help to address significant knowledge gaps and contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of Missouri's cultural heritage. Applicants should be aware that the Foundation is particularly interested in projects that demonstrate a clear understanding of the state's archaeological context and a well-defined research plan.
Missouri's rural areas, which have historically been underserved by research funding, are also a focus for the grant program. The Missouri State University's anthropology department, among others, has been actively engaged in research projects that highlight the importance of rural archaeology. By supporting research in these areas, the grant program aims to promote a more inclusive understanding of the state's cultural heritage.
