Alba Menéndez Pereda, Ph.D.

I received my Ph.D. in archaeology from the University of California, Los Angeles where I specialized in the material and visual culture of the Inca Empire. Previously, I earned my undergraduate degree (BA) in archaeology from the University of Durham and completed my master’s (MPhil) at the University of Cambridge. I have participated in numerous archaeological research projects spanning various regions and time periods, for which I have conducted fieldwork and worked in archives and museums in England, Italy, Spain, and Peru. My doctoral research has been supported by the “la Caixa” Foundation, the Wenner-Gren Foundation, the Society of Architectural Historians, The Huntington Library, and the John Carter Brown Library, among others.
