Geosciences Ph.D. student and former Anthropology IGERT Fellow Jill Onken and Vance Holliday were  notified in June that her NSF Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant proposal was funded by the NSF Archaeology Program. The proposal is for “Paleoenvironmental Context of Ancestral Puebloan Demographic and Subsistence Change in West-Central New Mexico”. Holliday would like to highlight that this Geosciences student who proposed a geoarchaeology study to NSF Archaeology was funded on the very first try.
