Dr. Burger is a scholar in Pre-Columbian Peruvian studies, specializing in
the Formative Period (1800-200 BCE) and Chavin Horizon for over 20 years. He
is the author of the most comprehensive volume to date on this period of
pre-Hispanic Peru: Chavin and the Origins of Andean Civilization, Thames and
Hudson (1992). His field excavations at sites such as Chavín de Huántar and
Huaricoto in the highlands, and Mina Perdida, Cardal, and Manchay Bajo on
the coast have fundamentally advanced our understanding of Formative Period
development and interaction. Dr. Burger has further been involved in
extensive research on the studies of early Andean trade goods, material
exchange, and food consumption. In addition, Dr. Burger is Curator of the
Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale University, which recently
sponsored “Machu Picchu: Unveiling the Mystery of the Incas,” an exhibition
highlighting Hiram Bingham’s 1912 expedition to this renowned site.
