Biography
Fields of Study: Archaeology of Mesoamerica, especially the Maya area, with field research in El Salvador (Quelepa), Guatemala (Seibal), Honduras (Copan), and Yucatan (Dzibilchaltun, Komchen).
Dr. Andrews received his PhD from Tulane University in 1971. His analytical specialties include ceramics, architecture, households, and settlement patterns. He studies the spread and diversification of Formative settlement in eastern Mesoamerica, with emphasis on early ceramics, and relationships between the Maya and Olmec during the Middle Formative. He did excavations in the 1990s in a residential group in the royal compound at Copan, focusing on diversity and spatial integration of elite segments of Maya society. Dr. Andrews' analysis and publication of the Copan project continues.
