Epigrapher & Archaeologist

Marc Zender is associate curator and lecturer at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University. Marc also serves as associate editor of The PARI Journal and is an active contributor to Joel Skidmore's Mesoweb, a major internet resource for the study of Mesoamerican cultures. Marc's research interests include anthropological/historical linguistics and comparative writing systems (particularly Mayan, Aztec and Runic writing), and he is project epigrapher for the Proyecto Arqueológico de Comalcalco, directed by Ricardo Armijo Torres.  Additionally, he has undertaken fieldwork in much of the Maya area, most recently in Copan, Honduras, where he assists Dr. William L. Fash in teaching the Harvard Field School in Classic Maya Archaeology and Epigraphy. Marc has published numerous articles on Maya decipherment, and his new book Reading Maya Art: A Hieroglyphic Guide to Ancient Maya Painting and Sculpture (co-written with Andrea Stone) will be published by Thames & Hudson early next year.
