Expertise

Research Intrests:

My research focuses on the daily lives of Maya communities, using a community-of-practice perspective and practice theory, alongside noninvasive techniques to analyze lithic materials and gain a deeper understanding of ancient societies.

My work integrates archaeology, archaeometry, and noninvasive methods, emphasizing a bottom-up approach to ancient knowledge and technology.

My research investigates the circulation of people and goods among Maya settlements during the Classic Period, resulting in a geographic model for analyzing movement in the Maya Lowlands of southeastern Mexico. 

My research encompasses a comprehensive survey of these roads and rivers, examining their relationship to settlement distribution and the broader landscape (Silva de la Mora 2008, 2011, 2023).
