My environmental archaeology research is focused on Central America and the world of temples and jungles. I work to understand how the sophisticated and populace cultures of the ancient Maya, Aztecs, Olmecs, etc. survived in the dense tropical rainforests and fragile volcanic uplands of Mesoamerica.
