Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Archaeology

Domestication, Ecology, Starch grain, Agriculture and Phytolith are her primary areas of study. Her studies deal with areas such as Discipline, Cucurbita, Botany and Tropics as well as Domestication. In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Ecology, Quaternary is strongly linked to Pleistocene.

Her study looks at the intersection of Starch grain and topics like Agronomy with Ground stone, Hearth, Squash and Pollen. Her work in Agriculture covers topics such as Foraging which are related to areas like Period. Dolores R. Piperno usually deals with Phytolith and limits it to topics linked to Holocene and Paleoecology.

Her most cited work include:

  • Phytoliths: A Comprehensive Guide for Archaeologists and Paleoecologists (773 citations)
  • Phytolith Analysis: An Archaeological and Geological Perspective (637 citations)
  • The Origins of Agriculture in the Lowland Neotropics (429 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Dolores R. Piperno mostly deals with Ecology, Phytolith, Domestication, Archaeology and Botany. Her Ecology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pleistocene and Holocene. Her work in Phytolith tackles topics such as Zea mays which are related to areas like Evolutionary biology.

Her Domestication research includes themes of Agronomy, Crop, Agriculture, Starch grain and Tropics. In general Archaeology study, her work on Radiocarbon dating and Huaca often relates to the realm of Perspective, thereby connecting several areas of interest. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Starch granule and Archaeological record.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (58.33%)
  • Phytolith (50.64%)
  • Domestication (47.44%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Ecology (58.33%)
  • Domestication (47.44%)
  • Amazon rainforest (25.00%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Dolores R. Piperno mainly focuses on Ecology, Domestication, Amazon rainforest, Phytolith and Publication data. Her Ecology research incorporates elements of Lifeway, Archaeology, Radiocarbon dating and Shore. Her Domestication research incorporates themes from Evolutionary biology, Agriculture, Starch grain and Agronomy.

Her research investigates the link between Evolutionary biology and topics such as Zea mays that cross with problems in Botany. In the subject of general Amazon rainforest, her work in Amazonian, Amazonian forest and Oenocarpus bataua is often linked to Composition, thereby combining diverse domains of study. Dolores R. Piperno has included themes like Socratea, Iriartea, Abundance, Oenocarpus and Astrocaryum in her Phytolith study.

Between 2016 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Simple technologies and diverse food strategies of the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene at Huaca Prieta, Coastal Peru (40 citations)
  • Simple technologies and diverse food strategies of the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene at Huaca Prieta, Coastal Peru (40 citations)
  • Assessing elements of an extended evolutionary synthesis for plant domestication and agricultural origin research. (33 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Botany

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Domestication, Floristics, Composition and Amazon rainforest. The various areas that Dolores R. Piperno examines in her Ecology study include Shore and Huaca, Archaeology, Holocene. Her research in Domestication intersects with topics in Range, Modern evolutionary synthesis, Evolutionary change, Prehistory and Biological dispersal.

Her Floristics study frequently links to other fields, such as Amazonian forest.
