    About This Project

    I am conducting archaeological excavations in Arenal, Costa Rica to understand how prehispanic people here created a resilient lifestyle amidst an ever-changing volcanic landscape since 1450 BC. Volcanic ash has preserved domestic settlements and organic material, allowing a reconstruction of past foodways and environmental management strategies. My hypothesis is that daily life was conducted in a sustainable manner and emphasized maintaining social ties in the area.
