About
I am an Ecuadorian Archaeologist specializing in the Northern Andes. I am interested in the use of archaeological science to answer questions about trade and exchange, craft production of metals, lithic artifacts, and textiles, and the origins and expressions of inequality in complex societies. I am currently focusing on archaeometallurgy and provenance studies of artifacts from Mesoamerica.
