She seeks to understand the various processes that enabled and constrained the development of the first cities. Her published research has included geospatial modeling of trade routes, music archaeology, geophysical remote sensing, and broader examinations of political change in ancient Oaxaca, a state in southern Mexico. Additionally, her fieldwork in countries such as El Salvador, Honduras, and Mexico includes archaeological excavation, survey, mapping, and ground penetrating radar (GPR).<\/p>\n<p>When asked by Brancaccio\u00a0the coolest artifact she has found, Dr. Barber replied,<em>\u201cThe coolest thing I found was a flute made of a deer bone that was carved with the image of, likely, the God who was summoned when the flute was played. So, it\u2019s this guy with a skeletal body and he\u2019s got a long top knot hair sort of ponytail coming down his back. The holes of the flute are eyeholes of his skull in the carving.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>With a passion for her innovative research in the\u00a0Pacific coast of Oaxaca, Dr. Barber is excited to continue her archeological work in Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>To listen to the full audio recording of Dr. Barber\u2019s interview, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketplace.org\/2016\/03\/21\/economy\/pro-tool-tools-professional\/archaeologist-pro-tool\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UCF Mesoamerican archaeologist, Sarah \u201cStacy\u201d Barber, Ph.D., was recently interviewed on NPR\u2019s Marketplace Morning Report\u00a0by\u00a0David Brancaccio.
