Funding
The research described on this website was largely funded by a National Science Foundation Grant – Assessing the Role of Ecological Change on Economic and Demographic Transformations Between the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age in the Sizandro River Valley, Portugal (2012-2016) (BCS 1153568). P.I. K.T. Lillios, Co-P.I. J.A. Artz ($235,534).
The 2007 season of fieldwork at Bolores was funded by a Social Sciences Funding Program Award, University of Iowa ($50,000).
We are also grateful to the Câmara Municipal of Torres Vedras for providing lunches for our crew during all seasons of fieldwork.
