FACULTY SPOTLIGHT

Keith Prufer, PhD

Professor

Department of Anthropology

Congratulations to Dr. Keith Prufer who has been awarded a Fellowship in residence by the trustees of Harvard University at their Dumbarton Oaks Research Library in Washington DC. There he will join the Pre-Columbian Studies group which was founded in 1963 to support the study of the art and archaeology of the ancient Americas. This research encompasses cultures that thrived in the western hemisphere from northern Mexico to southern South America. His writing projects at Dumbarton Oaks will focus on untangling the complex history of early farming in tropical Mesoamerica and to link the earliest plant foods to the development of indigenous cuisines.
