Wari Foodways: A view from the Urban Core of Huari (AD 600-1000)
In January of 2019, the Stahl fund enabled me to travel to Ayacucho, Peru for analysis and collection of dissertation materials recovered from a domestic sector of the city of Huari (AD 600-1000). This trip allowed me to analyze charred botanical remains collected during excavation and artifacts recovered through flotation samples I processed through the 2017 and 2018 field seasons of the Huari Urban Prehistory Project co-directed through the University of Binghamton and the Universidad Nacional de San Cristobal de Huamanga.
