I have worked extensively in Latin America and East Asia investigating the pre-ceramic to ceramic period transitions. Recently, I have been studying this by covering the late Pleistocene to Holocene. I reconstruct human behaviors examining ceramic production processes with archaeometric techniques, geochronology, depositional and archaeological context, and environmental variability and change. I collaborate with archaeologists and scientists with distinct expertise in fields and at labs.
