Charlotte is a third year PhD student in the Department of Anthropology studying landscape archaeology through the faunal remains of fish and remote sensing techniques like LiDAR. Specifically, Charlotte is interested in how past Indigenous populations in the Amazon accumulated intricate bodies ecological knowledge and practices, which they used to domesticate their landscapes and increase long-term environmental productivity. At the moment, Charlotte is working in the Llanos de Mojos of Bolivia, a large floodplain in the upper Amazon basin.
