Biography
Harper Dine's research centers on foodways and agricultural strategies in the northern Maya lowlands during the Classic period (300-900 AD). For her dissertation, she is using archaeological and paleoethnobotanical methods to understand how changes in the broader political and economic landscapes of the Yaxuna-Coba region affected local household food production and consumption. More broadly, she is interested in food security and people-plant relations.
