Mary Leighton - Dept of Anthropology at the University of Chicago

I am a graduate student at the University of Chicago in the department of Anthropology. I completed my BA at the University of Cambridge in 2003, specialising in European pre-history and archaeological science. My current research involves ethnographical analysis of archaeological practice in the Andes - specifically Peru, Bolivia and Chile. I am interested in the production of knowledge through collaboration and negotiation within research communities that include both (foreign and local) archaeologists and indigenous peoples. I am also interested in pop-culture and 'alternative' representations and conceptions of time and archaeology. For more information, follow the links above.
