The faculty members from this unit conduct research in both Americas with focus on archaeological research and collaboration with Indigenous societies as well as provide classes and special programmes for students interested in the archaeology and anthropology of the New World. The fieldwork includes projects conducted in the Mesa Verde region, southwestern Colorado (USA), ancient and contemporary Maya sites in Guatemala, and several countries in South America, including Peru and Ecuador.
