Interests
I am beginning excavations at the Classic Maya city of El Zotz, Guatemala, and have finished five seasons of work at the ruins of Piedras Negras, Guatemala. A book in Maya color concepts and use is in the works, along with another volume on the death or extinction of writing systems, another on Classic Maya civilization. Articles on Maya epigraphy and fieldwork are now in press or in the works.
