The Latin American Studies Working Group presents Corey Herrmann, Ph.D. student in Yale’s Department of Anthropology.
Corey Herrmann is a PhD student in Yale’s Department of Anthropology, with an interest in the archaeology of Ecuador. He has previously participated in archaeological fieldwork in Guerrero, Mexico and two projects in Cuzco, Peru. His Master’s thesis focused on a ceramic analysis of previously excavated material from the Jama Valley, in northern Manabí, Ecuador, pertaining to the culture known as Chorrera, from the Late Formative Period (ca. 1300-300 BCE). His current research focuses on continuing work in northern and central Manabí, with an eye toward communities (ancient and modern), how they are organized, and the means by which they manage(d) and live(d) with volcanism, earthquakes, and El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) flooding events.
The Latin American Studies Working Group (LASWG) welcomes the participation of scholars from all disciplines whose research and scholarship intersect with Latin America. Participants are asked to contact the LASWG at yale.laswg@gmail.com to register and request the papers that will be discussed in the meeting.
