Fieldwork

My fieldwork combines archaeology, geography, environmental science, mapping, excavation, coring, lidar, and community-engaged heritage practices.

Research in Belize includes Laguna Seca and Laguna Verde, Uxbenká/Uchben’ kaj, Lubaantun, Wamil, Ek Xux, Muklebal Tzul, Ix Kuku’il, and related Maya lowland landscapes. Work has included excavation, pedestrian survey, lidar analysis, coring, wetland soils, mapping, 3D modeling, and paleoenvironmental sampling.

Community Engagement

My fieldwork is grounded in transparent relationships with local stakeholders, Indigenous Maya communities, conservation partners, and government institutions. In southern Belize, this includes community engagement in Santa Cruz, San Antonio, and San Pedro Columbia, as well as work connected to Ya’axché Conservation Trust and the Uchben’ kaj Kin Ajaw Association.
