Innovation, Religion, and the Development of the Andean Formative Period
2016 Faculty Fellowship
Rick’s research focuses on the relationship between technological developments and establishment of social hierarchies in the central Andes between 1500 BC and 500 BC. He will study this relationship, comparing the ancient religious center of Chavín de Huántar in modern day Peru to other societies from the same era.
