Hey Robert. Yes we have had art history majors in the past - my first year on the project my friend Caitlin did art history stuff. However, she focused more on Colonial art, and studied many of the paintings in our town and at the Hacienda, as well as in the museums in Quito. She is currently going to UT in Austin and now works in Belieze doing more colonial stuff there.
As for any Pre-columbian art majors, that I am unsure of. I haven't seen anyone doing that since I have been there, but there may have been a few students during the first field season. It is an interesting subject that is definitely understudyiedin our area, but you may be spending a good portion of your time in museums in and around Cangahua- Sam or Chad can give you more info about this if you need.
Hope that helps! Amber

Hi, I'm a fourth-year at UCLA and will probably be applying for the
Travel Study program at Pambamarca within the next week and would like
to know if anyone has worked with Art History majors who have worked on
the project in the past.
Dr. Connell tells me that there indeed have been some majors in the
past but I haven't heard much about their work on the site.
My intended focus in Art History is Pre-Columbian art and have been
informed that I could do my research from an art historical
perspective. I'm just wondering if many people have done this in the
past.
Please let me know what's up, Thanks!
