Opportunity Information: Apply for P13AS00109

The National Park Service is announcing a grant opportunity to fund a project in collaboration with the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) under their Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program. The grant, totaling $78,240, focuses on archaeological research at Amalik Bay on the Alaska Peninsula, specifically examining human settlement, seasonal variations, and sea level changes from about 8,000 to 4,000 years ago.

The project, set to run from August 1, 2013, to November 1, 2014, aims to explore known archaeological sites that are currently at risk from various environmental factors. Key objectives include subsurface investigations of two site types, a thorough analysis of cultural residues, and assessments of coastal geomorphology to clarify past sea-level changes. This study is essential for enhancing the Archaeological Overview and Assessment of Katmai National Park and will support better management of coastal cultural resources.

The partnership will involve pre-field discussions between UAMN and NPS, staff recruitment, field logistics, safety training, fieldwork coordination over three to four weeks, and post-field data management and reporting. NPS will also provide equipment and assist with safety oversight and permitting processes.

The justification for selecting UAF as a sole source for this grant lies in their unique capabilities, including a workforce of experienced archaeology graduate students and access to extensive comparative archaeological collections. This expertise positions UAF to conduct efficient and high-quality research on Alaska's archaeological heritage.
