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. This trip also enabled samples from flotation samples, pottery residue, starch, and lithic collections to be hand-carried from Peru to the United States for more advanced analysis.
