Research and Practice Interests
I am a PhD student in the Lentz Lab, conducting paleoethnobotanical research on the ancient Mayans. My dissertation will involve studying differences in diet between social strata at Yaxnohcah, a Mayan city in Campeche, Mexico. This will involve studying charcoal from hearths and middens (trash pits), as well as carbonized seed remains, primarily from middens.
