About:

I am a paleoethnobotanist working in Latin America. I specialize in the identification and interpretation of macrobotanical and anthracological archaeological plant remains and have conducted research on archaeological excavations in El Salvador, Costa Rica, Belize, Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, and Ecuador. My research interests include household archaeology, historical ecology, and agroecology.
