Research Activities and Interests

I recently completed the first phase of the Proyecto Ynalche, a multi-year, interdisciplinary study of the ecology and organization of late prehispanic agriculture and water management on the desert north coast of Peru. This work sparked my efforts to apply archaeology, with its long-term perspective on humans and the environment, to current problems of land use, agriculture, and conservation. Other projects have focused on the political economy of craft and food production, and explore the interaction between the state and conquered artisans at Inka pottery workshops in the imperial provinces, and the ethnoarchaeology of maize beer (chicha) brewing on Peru’s north coast. Support for my fieldwork and analyses has been provided by the National Science Foundation, the National Geographic Society, the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, the Social Science Research Council, the Fulbright-Hays program, the Heinz Family Foundation, the Pennsylvania State University and the University of Missouri.
