In this episode, Dr. Diana Moreiras (Western University) talks to us about her work as a Mesoamerican archaeologist, isotopic chemist and bioarchaeologist.

How did Diana first get into archaeological science and performing research in Mesoamerican studies? What isotopic techniques does she use to study diet and movement of Aztecs in ancient Mexico? Why were human sacrifices a significant part of ritual in Templo Mayor of Tenochtitlan and Templo R of Tlatelolco? Who were those sacrificed? What does Diana hope to study in the future?
