  Andes\, set between the lowland Amazon rainforest and the Andean highlands
 \, have long been recognized as an important region for highland-lowland ex
 change and interaction\, including the transmission of domesticated plants 
 and animals. However\, little direct evidence of early human foragers and t
 he introduction of food production has been reported. In fact\, the record 
 of early groups in these tropical montane cloud forest environments is so s
 carce that some experts believe this landscape was too marginal to support 
 substantial pre- and proto-agricultural populations. This presentation will
  present new evidence for foraging and food production in the eastern Andes
  between 5\,500 and 1\,000 years ago\, and discuss potential explanatory mo
 dels for how human adapted to and modified this supposedly “marginal” envir
 onment.</p><p><strong><img class="size-medium wp-image-22194 alignleft" src

 f Archaeology\, University of California\, Los Angeles. She received her do
 ctoral degree in anthropology from the University of Michigan in August 202
 4\, with a dissertation titled “Human Ecology of the Early Prehistory of th
 e Eastern Andes\, Peru.” She employs a variety of approaches to investigate
  interactions between humans and their environment in the Peruvian eastern 
 Andes\, seeking to better understand the role this critically under-studied
  region has played in the transmission of people\, goods\, and ideas betwee
 n the Andean highlands and the Amazon rainforest.</p>
