RESEARCH AND FIELD EXPERIENCE:
1985-present: Co-Director, Caracol Archaeological Project: Caracol, Belize:
2012 Season (Jan-March) involved a staff of 17 and a crew of 15.
Research focused on beginning the 3-year investigation of a Maya neighborhood involving some 16 residential
groups on the plateau upon which the Machete Terminus sits. The 2012 field season saw the investigation of 5
residential groups on the northern end of the plateau, specifically on: Structures K23, K26, and K31 in Zumba;
Structures K12, K13, K14, and K29 in Tango; Structures K15, K16, K18, K19, and K21 in Dos Aguadas;
Structures K24, K25, and K26 in Terraza; and, Structures L74 and L75 in Salsa.
2011 Season (Jan-March) involved a staff of 17 and a crew of 26.
Investigations focused on four separate sub-projects. The first sub-project was the continuation of the investigation of
the double group comprising Structures F30-F42, focusing on Structures F34, F35, and F38 during 2011. The second
sub-project involved contextualizing the archaeological data collected from Structures F30-42 in terms of three
neighboring groups; new excavations were undertaken in Structures F3, F9, F11, F14, F24, and the F1 chultun; these
data may be combined with the previously excavated Structures F2, F4, and F21. The third subproject involved
ground-checking LiDAR data, especially for causeways and reservoirs. The fourth sub-project involved the stabilization
of the previously excavated Northeast Acropolis in conjunction with the Belize Institute of Archaeology.
2010 Season (Jan-March) involved a staff of 19 and a crew of 16.
Investigations focused on three separate archaeological programs and began the coordination of stabilization for
Caracol s Northeast Acropolis. A continuing focus for 2010 was the Northeast Acropolis with further investigation of
Structures B31, B33, and B34 - as well as a deeper plaza probe that found an Early Classic deposit; stabilization of the
Northeast Acropolis will start in December 2010 in conjunction with the Institute of Archaeology. A second focus for
the 2010 season was the start of a multi-season investigation of a conjoined plaza elite group comprised of Structures
F30-F42, looking especially at its latest occupation. Five excavations that revealed multiple deposits were undertaken in
2010. The third focus for the 2010 field season was the beginning of ground-checking the 2009 LiDAR DEM,
specifically focusing on caves.
2009 Season (Jan-March) involved a staff of 16 and a crew of 18.
Investigations focused on three separate programs. The first continued investigation of Structure C20 and the
excavation of a tomb found during the 2008 field season. The second focus was the beginning of new site mapping
using airborne lidar radar to fill in settlement, terraces, causeways, and new termini. The third and main focus
for the 2009 excavation season was the beginning of a multi-year research program in the Northeast Acropolis
to define its physical form and developmental history (especially in relation to the Maya collapse), leading to the
eventual stabilization of this complex for tourism.
2008 Season (Jan-March) involved a staff of 13 and a crew of 10.
Investigations focused on two residential groups southeast of the South Acropolis in order to examine ritual variability
in living units that are immediately proximate to the epicenter. Excavations in one group focused on two eastern
buildings, a central shrine, and the northern and western structures. In the other group, the eastern building contained a
looted tomb and the front of the structure was excavated; also dug in this group were the western palace, a line-of-stone
building in the plaza, and a northern out building.
2007 Season (Jan-March) involved a staff of 12 and a crew of 10.
Investigations focused on Structures A16, B1, D2, and I1 through I8. While initial research focus was on the Terminal
Classic, it changed mid-season as hiatus era remains were encountered in Structure D2 and in Structures I2 and I5.
Particularly notable were the series of face caches recovered in Structure I5, the majority in association with obsidian
eccentrics and other objects. A 17 person film crew for the Discovery Channel (GRB) was on-site for two weeks.
2006 Season (Feb-March) involved a staff of 14 and a crew of 9.
Investigations focused locating Terminal Classic in situ remains. Three loci were selected for excavation: a
housemound group at the southeastern edge of the epicenter integrated into the epicentral boundary wall, an isolated
epicentral structure north of the A Group ballcourt, and a non-epicentral palace located ca. 500 m northwest of the
epicenter. Ceramic remains from all excavated areas dated to the Terminal Classic and included ceramic trade items.
2005 Season (Feb-March) involved a staff of 12 and a crew of 9.
Investigations focused on locating non-palace Terminal Classic occupation associated with small structures in the
vicinity of the epicenter. Structure I20 produced a late burial and use-related materials dating to this era; Structure
B59 proved to be a late vaulted building with interior stone piers. Structures B40, B42, and B44 yielded a series of
tombs, burials, and caches that spanned the Protoclassic to Terminal Classic Periods.
2004 Season (Jan-March) involved a staff of 10 and a crew of 9.
Excavations focused on the small structures immediately east of Barrio and west of Caana in an attempt to identify
specific areas that may have been used for a support function for the epicentral elite. These investigations succeeded
in recovering Terminal Classic line-of-stone buildings, possible kitchen debris, a Terminal Classic burial, and 3 Early
Classic interments.
2003 Season (Feb-April) involved a staff of 14 and a crew of 9.
Excavations focused on Caracol s South Acropolis, especially on five smaller buildings behind (south of) and
adjacent to the central stone structures. Investigations also extended some of the original excavations undertaken in
1990 and 1992. Conjoined work was also done with the Belize Tourist Development Project as they worked to
stabilize the buildings in the South Acropolis. Four burials and intact garbage from a collapsed Protoclassic chultun
was also recovered.

RESEARCH AND FIELD EXPERIENCE (continued):
2002 Season (Feb-March) involved a staff of 11 and a crew of 9.
Excavations focused on Structures A13, B28, and F4, all of which were trenched; a deep plaza test was also dug in
front of Structure B33. A new stela was found in front of Structure B28; cache vessels were recovered from
excavations into Structure A13 and B33 front plaza. Additionally, a new stucco text was recovered in association
with Structure B19. The contents of two tombs were also recovered by the stabilization project.
2001 Season (Jan-March) involved a staff of 14 and a crew of 13.
Excavations focused on the palace structures in Barrio and Caana in preparation for their final stabilization.
Structure B26 was trenched and backfilled; Structure B25 was completely cleared; Structure B21 saw some work.
Extensive Terminal Classic trash deposits were recovered in the Barrio excavations. On Caana, Structure B18 was
investigated at its summit and base, the rooms in the NW Quad were completely cleared and recorded, and two
tombs were found at the base of Structure B19.
2000 Season (Jan-April) involved a staff of 13 and a crew of 14.
Excavations focused on structures within the southwest walled area and one residential group immediately south of
this area. Mapping concentrated on terraces in the Chaquistero area and in formally linking the Cohune-Chaquistero
transect to the overall Caracol map.
1999 Season (Jan-April) involved a staff of 15 and a crew of 12.
Excavations focused on axial trenching of the basal stairs of Structures A2 and A3, as well as on areal exposure of
parts of the frontal stairs and substructures associated with these buildings; Structure A10 was also investigated. A
residential group was investigated immediately north of the epicenter. Mapping concentrated on recording an east-
west transect 6 kilometers north of the epicenter. A regional museum opened at Caracol in March.
1998 Season (Jan-April) involved a staff of 15 and a crew of 12.
Excavations focused on basal architecture associated with Structures A1, A3, and A8, as well as on a housemound
group 500 m north of the A Group, where a collapsed tomb and plaza test were dug. Mapping recorded the Retiro
and Ceiba termini and their associated causeways.
1997 Season (Jan-April) involved a staff of 16 and a crew of 12.
Excavations focused on 4 groups with open, collapsed, and looted tombs in the southwest part of Caracol; an
additional tomb, 2 caches, and a freestanding stucco statue were excavated in the epicenter; settlement mapping was
completed for over 16 km2 of the site. Approximately 15,000 tourists per year now visit Caracol.
1996 Season (Jan-April) involved a staff of 15 and a crew of 8.
Primarily a laboratory season focusing on the cataloguing, recording, and analysis of materials from the northeast
settlement program; mapping completed for a 9 km2 central block; clean-up excavation undertaken in Str. B34
(encountering Preclassic shrine), which was then backfilled.
1995 Season (Feb-June) involved a staff of 24 and crew of 36.
Second season of northeast sector settlement program; intensive excavation of two groups and extensive test-pitting;
Preclassic burial associated with 32 vessels and 5756 jadeite and shell beads (dating to ca. A.D. 150) found in Str.
B34; no drop-off in density found in transects mapped outside the epicenter for 6 km to the north and south; more
causeways are found through ground survey (to Hatzcap Ceel and to Round Hole Bank)) and are noted in landsat
interpretation (going 24 km to the southeast); reconnaissance indicates that the city of Caracol has a radius of 10 km.
1994 Season (Jan-May) involved a staff of 22 and crew of 44.
First of two seasons of National Science Foundation-sponsored northeast sector settlement program; extensive
mapping; discovery of Puchituk terminus and causeway; excavations suggest that Caracol core area is occupied well
past the last dated monuments in the epicenter.
1993 Season (Feb-June) involved a staff of 20 and crew of 40.
Stabilization continues; investigations on Caana locate a royal tomb dating to A.D. 537 in Str. B20 and deeply buried
ritual deposits in Str. B19; hieroglyphic texts are found in non-elite contexts.
1992 Season (Feb-June) involved 15 staff and a support crew of 40.
Stabilization continues; discovery of a ruler's tomb in South Acropolis and royal tombs in the Central Acropolis;
together with associated caches, these finds indicated shared ritual patterns throughout the Caracol population; GOB
builds all-weather road into site.
1991 Season (Jan-June) involved 19 staff and a support crew of 85.
Stabilization continues; causeway system of Caracol is found to extend out 7 to 8 km in three instances; jadeite mask
and mercury found in a stone box cache in Str. A6; intact stucco roof frieze is found within Caana; GOB declares
whole of Caracol area a national park (in accord with a mid-1950's document).
