Mexican archaeologist, studied in the National School of Anthropology and History in Mexico City. I work in the eastern half of the State of Chiapas, I focus on traditional ceramic production, culture change and Postclassic and Protohistoric Maya.
Since 2017 I have worked as a volontary at the Na Bolom Museum and Archive in San Cristobal de las Casas, cataloguing archaeological collections also researching and organizing the manuscript collection. Archival research is my second area of work, right now I focus on the history of Mexican archaeology from the 1940's to the 1970's.
I have also done research in historical archaeology of Yucatan, High mountain excavation in the Iztaccihuatl volcano, Postclassic Huatulco, Oaxaca and hunter gatherer camp surveys in the central coast of Sonora.
I have a side project editing books for the public with Editorial Dragon Rojo, we re-publish little known books and also publish young mexican researchers in topics like anthopology and history.
I speak English, Spanish and French fluently.
