Luis is interested in researching the evolution of the social behavior of the last hunter-gatherers and their process of change towards a complex lifestyle in the highlands of the Lake Titicaca Basin, Peru some 4,000 thousand years ago. On this, he is particularly interested in investigating two topics: the emergence of leadership and the residential pattern using multiple lines of evidence from archaeology and archaeometry.
