Interests

I am an anthropological archaeologist whose current research focuses on the links among work, group identity, and political agency in central Mexico under Aztec and Spanish rule. I am interested in how the social dimension of technologies such as stone-tool production and saltmaking link people together in households and communities. I am particularly interested in using archaeological methods to give a voice to the people who are typically voiceless in the historical record. My previous fieldwork brought me to Honduras, Belize, Portugal, and West Virginia. In Mexico, I have worked in the states of Zacatecas, Tlaxcala, and the Estado de Mexico.
