Elizabeth Graham is a professor of Mesoamerican Archaeology at UCL. She has worked, for decades, on the Maya civilization, both in prehispanic and colonial times, specifically in Belize. [1] She has recently turned her attention to Maya Dark Earths, and conducts pioneering work in the maya region as dark earths have mostly been studied in the Amazonia. [1] She particularly focuses on how human occupation (domestic and industrial waste, burials, abandoned houses and processing sites) influences soil formation and production. [1]
Graham completed a BA in history at the University of Rhode Island in 1970. [1] She obtained a Phd in Archaeology from the University of Cambridge in 1983, entitled The Highlands of the Lowlands: Environment and Archaeology in the Stann Creek District, Belize, Central America. [1]
From 1978 to 1980, Graham was the Archaeological Commissioner in Belize. During this time she orchestrated the international training of colleagues in Belize . [2]
During the 1980s, she conducted coastal surveys in the Stann Creek District region of Belize. [3] In the late 1980s she commenced work on Postclassic site at Lamanai. [2] She has also conducted excavations at Negroman-Tipu, Belize. Graham directs excavations at Lamanai on the New River Lagoon in Belize, and at Marco Gonzalez, on Ambergris Caye. [1] [4] Recent work has focused on mission churches from the early Spanish colonial period. [5]
In the late 1980s, Graham was a Canada Research Fellow at York University, Ontario as well as a research associate in New World Archaeology at the Royal Ontario Museum. [6] Graham joined UCL in 1999. [7]
Graham has written on Mesoamerican archaeology in the Guardian, [8] Apollo Magazine, [9] and the Conversation. [10] She is a member of the Editorial Advisory Board of the archaeology journal Antiquity. [11]
