In this episode of It's (Probably) Not Rocket Science, UNM Anthropology professor Keith Prufer and PhD Student Nadia Neff join the show to discuss a pair of recent papers. Neff published groundbreaking research last summer regarding ancient maize farmers, and the two collaborated on a paper that was released on Sept. 22 looking at the shifts in farming in the Mayan Lowlands. The pair discuss their background in the field and how the resources at UNM allow them to answer these questions.
