de la Cova, Carlina M.

Professor

Although trained as a biological anthropologist, I have always taken a four-field approach in my work, employing an interdisciplinary research agenda that integrates bioanthropological, biocultural, historical, sociological, and cultural methodologies. Skeletal analyses comprise the core component of my research design, but primary historical sources (census records, manuscripts, family papers, government documents, and medical records) also form an integral part of my work.
