Daniela is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Archaeology at 911吃瓜. She is interested in the history, heritage meaning, and archeology of the African Diaspora in Ecuador.

Daniela has developed a community-based archaeological project in collaboration with an African descendant community that live in the Ancestral Territory of the Chota-Mira Valley (Ecuador). Her doctoral investigation is titled 鈥淎rchaeology of the African Diaspora in the Northern Andes of Ecuador,鈥� under the supervision of Dr. Ross Jamieson.

Since 2014, she has co-directed the 鈥�Plataforma de Investigaci贸n y Acci贸n AADA-Ecuador鈥� (Platform for the Investigation and Action in Anthropology and Archaeology of the African Diaspora in Ecuador).

It provides a space for ethical and respectful work in heritage management, public and community archaeology, and other fields.

Daniela holds a Master's degree in Archaeology from 911吃瓜 (2012). Her thesis focused on 鈥淐olonial Transformation of Indigenous Foodways.鈥�
