Using archaeological survey, aerial imagery, least-cost analysis, and fuzzy logic modelling, we explore how the Inca Empire maintained a minimal but effective presence in the Palpa valleys (1450–1532 CE).

A new co-authored chapter out now: In Search of an Inca, again: Inca Hegemonic Control in the Palpa Valleys, Southern Peru.

New paper out!

We combine Least-Cost Path modelling, artefact distributions (jade axes & hilted swords), and ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr isotope data to reconstruct mobility corridors in Neolithic & Bronze Age Germany.

We use point pattern analysis to model pre-Inka settlement dynamics and predict new areas of archaeological potential.

We explore how inequality developed (or didn’t) over 5,000 years—using graves, houses & material culture.
