Lauren Sullivan
Lauren A. Sullivan has a Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Texas at Austin. She has been involved in field research in the Maya lowlands since 1987. Her early interests included the development of complex society in northern Belize with a focus on Preclassic architecture and ceramics. She also worked on a number of prehistoric sites in Texas. More recently, Lauren has focused on the analysis of ceramics recovered from a number of sites in northwestern Belize (small and large) in order to develop a regional chronology and to examine patterns of trade, exchange, and social organization. In addition, she is working on Cunil pottery from the site of Cahal Pech in the Belize River Valley.
