Confederates in the Amazon

SAPIENS just published a short excerpt from my book Amazonia in the Anthropocene that looks at the role American Confederate families played in the early archaeology of the Amazon basin. You can read it here.

I'm a cultural and environmental anthropologist with interests in biodiversity management and smallholder agriculture in rural Amazonia. I've conducted research on agrobiodiversity management, anthropogenic soils, and community-based conservation. Currently, I'm also interested in the ways that farmers rely upon social networks, local ecological knowledge, and agrobiodiversity management to contend with the uncertainties of global climate change.
