Canadian born Archaeologist, Dr. David Cheetham, PhD. works primarily in Central America and specializes in Preclassic/Formative era structures[1] and pottery[2]. He has worked extensively in Belize[1][2], Guatemala and Chiapas, Mexico[3] performing archaeological field work and pottery analysis on his own projects as well as consulting for numerous other archaeologists on theirs. Notable digs by Dr. Cheetham include the excavation of the Zopilote at Cahal Pech, Belize in 1993, several seasons of field work at Tikal, Guatemala, and the unearthing of a juvenile sacrificial victim in Canton Corralito, Chiapas Mexico in 2004[4]. He spent six months assisting Dr. Zahi Hawas during the filming of the History Channel show Chasing Mummies during which he performed underwater archaeology and helped to raise a pylon from the temple of Cleopatra VII out of the harbor at Alexandria, Egypt in 2010.[5]
Working actively in the field of Mesoamerican Archaeology since the late 1980's, Dr. Cheetham has become a respected authority on the pottery and stratification based on ceramic analysis in the region of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and the Yucatan Peninsula. His work has helped to link the Olmec site of San Lorenzo with a potential Olmec outpost in the Soconousco[4] through exhaustive comparative analysis of the style, dating and chemical analysis of the composite materials of pottery and figurines from both the San Lorenzo and Canton Corralito sites.[3] Additional analysis of individuals recovered from a burial at the site has reinforced these findings.
Other work includes the study of Cacao use in early Mesoamerican cultures[6] and analysis of social structure through pottery vessel style[7] and use within both midden, in situ, and elite burial contexts.[8]
Dr. Cheetham is also a member of the New World Archaeological Foundation, Department of Anthropology at Brigham Young University.[4] He continues to work in the field and adds to the field by sharing his experience with the next generation of archaeologists. He has taught Anthropology courses at California State University, Long Beach (2007-2010) and is currently teaching at University of California, Los Angeles (2012-2013).
