About me: I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Missouri. My dissertation is centered on the archaeology of the Late Preceramic site of Buena Vista in the Chillon Valley of Peru. I'm interested in using paleoethnobotany in evaluating the contribution of agriculture to the development of Late Preceramic civilizations on the coast of Peru and the role of feasting in early Peruvian society.I have worked at Buena Vista as the Field Director with the site's P.I., Bob Benfer. I also work in Debby Pearsall's Paleoethnobotany Lab at MU.
