Gerson Levi-Lazzaris (born November 25, 1979, in Curitiba) is a Brazilian archaeologist, descendant of Ladin immigrants.

## Biography

[edit]

In 1983, his family moved from Curitiba to São Paulo. At the age of 15 he moved to Lisbon, Portugal, following a short-experience in Finland. Accepted in the University of São Paulo, Levi-Lazzaris started his studies in Archaeology and History, focusing Antisemitism in the Austro-Hungarian Empire (2003), obtaining his BA. In 2007 he obtained a master's degree in archaeology in the same University of São Paulo based on an extensive dissertation about Middle Holocene hunter-gatherer societies in Southeast Brazil. He introduced the ecosystem approach in Brazilian archaeology. In March 2007 he was accepted as graduate student at Vanderbilt University.

Levi-Lazzaris has published articles ranging from political reviews in Trotskyist periodicals to scientific reviews and governmental reports. He has also translated books. Levi-Lazzaris developed his doctoral research in Roraima among the Ninam Indians, a Yanomamo subgroup,[1] developing ethnoarchaeological studies in the Uraricoera valley. He was the second coordinator of the Frente de Proteção Etnoambiental Yanomami e Ye´kuana through FUNAI during 2010–2011.[2]
