Research Interests:

I am an anthropological archaeologist studying human-environment relationships in the northern Maya lowlands of the Yucatan Peninsula. Specifically, my research focuses on understanding changing human-environmental relationships and resource management practices in the hilly Puuc region of the Yucatan. Over the past ten years I have had the good fortune of being able to conduct my field investigations as a member of the Bolonchen Regional Archaeological Project (BRAP) based out of the town of Oxkutzcab. One of the things that I enjoy most about my research is bringing students to the field for hands-on learning opportunities and new cultural experiences.
