He received his BA in Political Science from Colgate University (1995) and his MA (2001) and PhD (2005) in Anthropology from UCLA. Carballo specializes in the archaeology of Latin America, with a geographic specialty in central Mexico and topical interests in households, urbanism, religion, stone tools, and working with contemporary communities in understanding ancient ones. Current investigations focus on two areas of Teotihuacan, the largest city in the Americas in its day. The Tlajinga district is a cluster of non-elite neighborhoods on the periphery of the city while the Great Compound is the largest architectural complex in area and most open and accessible part of the city.
