Pliocene Archaeology

Since 2008 Dr Carvalho has been engaged in the Koobi Fora Field School in Kenya. Some of her main projects in the East side of Lake Turkana include actualistic experiments focusing on the use of percussive technologies, and surveys and excavation in Pliocene (2.6-5.3 Ma) deposits. All her research in Kenya is part of a long-term collaboration with David R. Braun (George Washington University) and the National Museums of Kenya.
