Dr. Haagen Klaus on the Lambayque Valley Biohistory Project

On today’s episode we have my professor, Dr. Haagen Klaus, a bioarchaeologist at George Mason University. Dr. Klaus begins this episode by sharing the other side of his life with us, military aviation. Dr. Klaus is a nationally recognized arial photographer and scale model builder, as well as an author of several books on military aircrafts. We then discuss his journey into anthropology, and how he fell in love with Peru and decided to continue his career doing research there. We cover his MA and PhD education and the various lessons he learned from this advisors. His work in Peru includes founding the Lambayque Valley Biohistory Project. This project is a multi-decade, international, multidisciplinary, and regional field bioarchaeology program on the desert north coast of Peru. He also recounts his favorite Peruvian dishes and restaurants. We then discuss the upcoming osteoimmunology project he and a group of GMU students will be traveling to Peru this summer to work on. Dr. Klaus has led a fascinating life and I hope you enjoy his stories as much as I do!
