Emma Messinger
- PhD Student - Archaeology
Emma is in the 3rd year of her PhD in Mesoamerican archaeology. She is combining household archaeology, paleoethnobotany, and ceramic analysis to address questions of labor, ideology, and domestic decision-making. She works primarily with the Belize Valley Archaeological Reconnaissance (BVAR) Program, and her decade of fieldwork experience has also centered in the American Southwest and on the Northwest Coast. Her interests include community-based archaeology, gender, identity, and ritual.
