Bio:

| Browman |
Browman's current research focus is on various aspects of two larger questions in anthropological archaeology: the origins of plant and animal domestication, and the formation of the pristine state. While the central Andes are Browman's primary regional focus, the topical questions investigated are not limited by geography. He has active research interests in local regional prehistoric and historic archaeological questions. In addition, Browman recently has increased his focus on the intellectual origins of the field.
Browman currently serves as chair of the Interdisciplinary Program in Archaeology in Arts & Sciences, coordinating the activities of five archaeologists from anthropology, two from art history, one from classics, and one from philosophy.
